Battery OEM Nissan or OEM Mazda
Reviews
After several tests they were able to get the battery fail code they were looking for. Nissan replaced the battery with a new one, and so far so good.
Pros: new battery, so far good
Crappy "genuine VW battery/parts" for you. Any of my other OEM Japanese car batteries lasted much longer. My 2011 Nissan 370z OEM battery lasted 7 years. It could've probably gone even longer if not for without driving it for long during the covid pandemic.
Pros: long lifespan
Cons: crappy quality
Vehicle:
Nissan
2014 Mazda 3, about 65k km.\n\n2nd battery only because I left the lights on one time a few years ago and needed a replacement. Nil problems otherwise.
Pros: nil problems otherwise
Cons: 2nd battery
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 65000 km
I'm in central Texas and the Leaf does just fine for in city driving. The batteries run hotter than a liquid cooled battery does of course but they are capable of operating at Texas summer temperatures. Where they struggle is on long highway trips. High speeds mean more load on the battery which also means more heat and more likely to have the car limit power due to battery temps. I have noticed that Leafs in Texas do tend to show more battery degradation and less capacity than leafs that are in cooler climate.
Pros: fine for city driving
Cons: struggles on highway, more degradation
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
I have a 2015 Nissan LEAF SV. In -25C or colder (and to be fair, it's rarely -25C (not counting the windchill) during the day), with moderate heat on (set heat to 19C or less) plus heated steering wheel and heated seats (both of which use relatively very little power), I can lose a good 60% of my range
Pros: save a lot on fuel
Cons: battery degradation
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
My 2014 CX-5 eats batteries and always has since i bought it brand new. I usually have to replace 1x a year\u2026 and I know it\u2019s coming about 45 days in advance because my bluetooth and USB chargers will suddenly stop working and that\u2019s how i know oh my battery will die soon!
Cons: battery dies yearly
Vehicle:
Mazda
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.
Cons: dies overnight
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
