Battery OEM Mazda or Duralast
2018 Mazda 6 is going fine.\n\nProbably due for a battery soon as preventative maintenance.
I used the duralast from autozone.
I use duralast and get about 4 years on a battery. No complaints at all.
Outback has a Duralast Gold. If it helps, we’ve had some harsh -30°f days the last few years since I upgraded my battery. No issues what so ever on it.
I’ve had two duralast batteries in my 02 24v and they’re so old I honestly can’t remember when I put them in. But I’d say they’re about 6-7 years old, probably more. When those batteries finally give up I’ll definitely be getting new duralast batteries.
If you actually worked at AutoZone and knew anything you know the duralast golds are decent.
My battery died last July at exactly 2,5 year mark. Mazda OEM battery is a cheap trash and so are the replacements too.
My 2014 CX-5 eats batteries and always has since i bought it brand new. I usually have to replace 1x a year\u2026 and I know it\u2019s coming about 45 days in advance because my bluetooth and USB chargers will suddenly stop working and that\u2019s how i know oh my battery will die soon!
I have the same problem with my Mazada 3. Changed the battery while still under warranty and still does it. I don't leave anything pluggeded in and it still dies overnight. I purchased a battery tender and have to hook it up every night or get a boost in the morning.
Even then the Mazda oem battery is trash. My battery only last me 15k miles, and I bought it new.
