Battery OEM Mazda or Varta
However, the choice that I currently consider most balanced in terms of performance/duration/cost is the VARTA Silver Dynamic AGM 95Ah.
I have this car. Most important is that below -12C, the gas engine stays on, and won't let you drive around on electric alone. That accounts for several months of driving in our winters. Secondly, even in temps below +10C, you have less access to the battery's energy, so your range drops even independently from the usual cold temp range losses.
Varta working for 6 years
Varta are the best ones I ever used. I use them in my car key too and its the only battery that lasts years instead of 2 months at most.
I still use a factory Audi (Varta) from 2014, so 11 years, but I'm not sure it will survive the first -15-25C this winter.
My VARTA on the e46 compact lasted 8years
ja imam varta sivi na mom autu (crkao u toku garancije zamenili ga bez problema) na drugom varta plavi taj gura bez problema
The only time I had issues with my battery was the original one when it was on its death bed. But I remember needing to clean the posts a few times and it would start right up. Never was left with a check engine light but when it acted up it would do weird things here and there.
I’ve had my 3 for 4 years and I’m on my 3rd battery.
Incan confirm they suck… i have a 2023 mazda and i have gone through two batteries. The second one died on me this week. Both were mazda batteries
