Battery OEM Mazda or YUASA
Yuasa. Best non lithium battery and I sold a lot of batteries. The battery in my mower for the last 2 years came out of my Valkyrie. The reason I replaced it in the Valkyrie was because it was 10 years old and I felt I might be pushing it even though it never gave me a problem.
*\"Yuasa High Performance Maintenance Free AGM Battery with Acid pack\"* Last one lasted 4-years. I could have pushed this, but I like traveling 100's of miles away from home and like the peace of mind.
I stick with yuasa (equipped from the factory). Thankfully the yuasa lasts long, 5+ years.
I put the Yuasa in a few years ago and it’s never had an issue cranking since. HD OEM batteries are trash. Don’t replace it with another one.
I replaced mine at age of 5 and half year, just to be sure - I am leaving the car at airport for 5 days regularly and I did not want to have another trouble solving in my life.
Price was 54 Euro. I have used Yuasa 5000 battery.
Old battery was sitting in garage and has swollen within week and lost voltage.
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.
My'21 CX9 battery is weak, and i can clearly tell its low on voltage after sitting without being started for a week. Never tried playing music on battery though in this car.
Basically many of the oem stock items for mazda are fine, but have notoriously short life expectancy. They have to cut corners somewhere. Battery and tires are the ones I've noticed that are good for a couple years at most before they are ran through. So yeah, I've had a mazda thay needed a new battery after 2 years, one that needed a new battery after 3 years. Just how they go.
Worst part about Mazda cars - battery can silently die on you. Instead once you're ~3 years in you're gambling every time you go for a drive.
OEM batteries are crap, replace it with something better, preferably an EFB one. Also, a healthy battery should withstand that time and even more, so yours was definitely at its end.
