Well my Volvo dealership wanted $400 for a battery so yeah... It's the small things that cost the most at dealerships, maybe as a way to lessen to cost of bigger jobs so you're not paying tens of thousands for a major job.

Cons: expensive small things

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.

I Have had the Mazda CX60 Azumi Tukami G40 Turbo 6cl petrol engine for 12 months now and have had this back at the dealership several times. I believe I have the lemon of the bunch.
Continual Istop issues, it has needed reprogramming twice. The battery has failed testing and needed replacing.
Cons: istop issues, battery failed
Vehicle:
Mazda
the stock battery only lasted 3 years. My VW prior lasted 7 on the OEM battery.

Battery died less than 12000 miles. Apparently Mazda is using cheap batteries, as this seems to be a common issue. But I still see others complain about the same thing.
Cons: died early, cheap quality, common issue

Mileage: 12000 km
first issue I had was the battery at around 2000 miles, it was replaced under warranty.
