vs
Battery OEM Mazda or Exide
IMHO, Exide works well till the last second and then dies off without any symptoms. Amaron shows alot of symptoms like extra cranking and lights dim for interior and dash lights when it's nearing its demise. Hence I moved to amaron. So should you.
Pros: Amaron shows symptoms
Cons: Exide dies without symptoms
After reading all replies and knowing the price of the dealers option, I took my chance with a Exide battery AGM 12-23, it was a perfect fit.
Pros: perfect fit
Part number: AGM 12-23
I don't think they are good at inverters, but I have used their battery for ups which lasted 4 years, now i am using the second one which completed one year
Pros: battery lasted 4 years
