What should I look for when replacing my Mazda OEM battery?

My Mazda is acting slow to start lately, and I’m pretty sure it’s because of the battery. What should I look for when replacing my Mazda OEM battery?

It’s important to know there’s no one-size-fits-all
Mazda
OEM battery—specifications will vary depending on the vehicle model, model year, engine type, and more.
To find out the specifications for your Mazda OEM battery, you can check your owner’s manual or the labeling on the battery itself. If you’re having difficulty tracking down the information, you could also ask a mechanic or Mazda dealership, and most auto parts stores also have tools that let you look up batteries compatible with your vehicle.
As you search for the right Mazda OEM battery replacement, here are a few factors to pay attention to:
  • Group size: This tells you about the battery’s physical size and terminal locations.
  • Cold-cranking amps (CCA): This tells you about the battery’s performance in cold weather, so look for a high CCA rating if you live in a colder climate.
  • Reserve capacity (RC): This tells you how long a fully-charged battery could provide power at a certain temperature before its voltage drops.
