Battery OEM Mazda or Exide
Our household got its first EV earlier this year, mainly for the daily 20-25 km commute form my SO, and it’s been the best car purchase we’ve ever made (only bested by my 3, which made it to 10y w/o problems this year). That “small battery” that once worried us (or more like we intentionally went with the smaller offering)? Barely a drawback - in the summer, a single charge lasts a whole week. This EV has become our go-to for short trips, and while cutting running costs by 2/3 was a big motivator, it’s now just a nice side benefit. I love the torque and started to love the silent driving. especially in a traffic jam.
Pros: love the torque, silent driving
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I got a `EA530 exide 079te` for my leaf just over a year ago and so far it's still working perfect.
Pros: still working perfect
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Part number: EA530 EXIDE 079TE
The Mazda OEM battery only lasts 3 years it seems. I have a 2021 and just changed the battery for similar reasons. It still started with no issues but it was pretty weak and was immediately noticeable after installing the new one. If you can afford it, the extra money for an AGM is worth it.
Pros: noticeable improvement with new battery
Cons: OEM battery weak
Vehicle:
Mazda

The only issues my wife and I have had on our 2021 CX9 and 3GT are dead battery issues. And we had dash and reverse cams fitted, which run and film continuously. If our street is busy, they can run the battery flat within 2 days.
Cons: drains quickly with accessories
Vehicle:
Mazda
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!
Cons: battery dies yearly
Vehicle:

Got exide for KTM, it gave up right after warranty, switched back to amaron. The first amaron battery lasted for 3 years without any hiccups.
Pros: Amaron lasted 3 years
Cons: Exide gave up quickly
My exide battery went dead after 2 years!!
Yesterday i brought Amaron battery for my Fz 25.
Hoping it serves me well.
Cons: battery went dead
My Bullet needs Amiron, not happy with Exide. It's some design tuning, I suppose
Cons: not happy with Exide
