Battery OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda
The price on a brand new Toyota OEM battery for the 2019 SE nightshade edition is 445$ish about 500$ after taxes. It’s designed for the stop start in the vehicle, it’s also backed by a 84 month warranty so you’ll never have to pay for a new battery for 84 months. When it comes to the battery, I would always go with OEM and have a good warranty on that battery as I do not want to deal with having to shell out another 200-300 dumpster autozone battery that has 3 year warranty or less.
Only thing I've added is a dash cam and all-weather mats. 26k miles with the fuel sender recall completed and a dead battery that is a known issue otherwise no issues.
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.
2018 Mazda 6 is going fine.\n\nProbably due for a battery soon as preventative maintenance.
My battery in my Toyota echo is from Toyota and it’s like 12 years old and still starting at -35C so I’d say go with Toyota genuine
I was told to replace the small battery in the back with an OEM battery from Toyota (oddly much cheaper). Problem solved. So far. :)
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.
first issue I had was the battery at around 2000 miles, it was replaced under warranty.
Having been burned with low quality auto parts store batteries (specifically for the Prius) and their being unable to honor their warranties, the Toyota battery is the only way to go.
So far have not had any issues except for dud OEM battery, kriginal and warranty...
