Battery OEM Mazda or ODYSSEY
I'm running a 320 amp alternator with AGM odyssey battery so far no issues
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.
Still running on its original battery that came with the car.
Commenting here for others to find. 5TA915105B has dimensions that align with Group 48/H6 specs. I bought an Odyssey 48-720 and it was a perfect fit. Bonus tip - FCP Euro has it for $250 and it includes their lifetime warranty.
I’ve had a group 34 Odyssey in my ‘04 TJ for 4.5 years, no problems at all.
I've had decent luck with Odyssey batteries
My car was sitting in parking lot with engine OFF and ignition ON - Android Auto was working and headlights/interior lights -> after about 15min music stops playing and I thought okay it's energy saver mode let me start engine.
But NOPE, there were some error messages, and engine couldn't start - battery was DEAD, I read battery are shit on new Mazdas and didn't want to deal with it myself and get it towed because of warranty.
Mazda uses cheap batteries, I have had to swap them on my last two CX5s
My cx30’s 2023 battery died as I was coming to a stop sign. As I was rolling to the stop sign my breaks failed hit the car Infront of me and the could not get my car to start.
Mazda OEM batteries known for underpowered and short shelf life. If you are in any kind of extreme climate for more than one season, there's a likely chance of failure.
