Yeah, the oem Panasonic battery is easy to kill. I replaced mine (2022 Turbo) with an AGM type. Most all batteries are made by Johnson Controls, under different names. The cheapest price I found was $179 with a 4 year warranty at Walmart. Everstart Platinum group 35. Was a 10 min job to remove and replace. They can even test your old one. The agm type is in the deep cycle family, it can be discharged quite a bit without any issues, the stock battery (flooded acid type) is easy to damage.

My 2019 Mazda 3 died on me randomly a couple months ago. The dealership ran a test on it and it came out fine. I changed it anyway as it was a stock 5 year old battery. It’s been fine since, even in the -20°C temps where I am.
I just replaced the battery on my eco drive from maybe 2008ish? Battery itself was 14 bucks on ebay, oem brand(Panasonic). Swap took 5 minutes.
Thx everyone, in the end I found a Varta B23 on discount, which is slightly bigger and slightly stronger (45AH) and fits.
I’d go for Vatra. Massively popular in Finland where it often gets lower than -30 in winters. I had mine on an F10 and the car was stationary for 2 weeks with average temp of around -15 degrees. Zero problem
Acum recent am schimbat bateria la mașină, am dat în jur de 530 de lei, baterie de la Varta. Eu am optat pentru varianta la 530 că am renunțat la funcția start-stop, altfel costa aprox. 800 de lei. Cel puțin din experiența personală, este o marcă super oke dpdv al raportului calitate-pret. Înainte de schimb tot Varta am avut, bateria originală de când a ieșit din fabrică (2013)
Varta blue 60ah de pe emag acum 3 ani jumate, fara startstop, 275 lei. Inca e bine in parametri, am o jucarie in bord care imi arata voltajul non stop.
Try Varta, I replaced crappy ac delco twice in a year, replacement battery died in less than 2 months
Replaced it with varta, going 3 months strong now
I have the same problem! Overcharging - 14,9V. Had AGM Varta, I put new Acid Varta and recoded to Lead Acid battery. But there is no difference - charges 14,9V, I think, this is too much!
