Battery Service

Your Mazda battery is one of the most crucial parts of your vehicle and will likely need to be checked twice every 12 months to ensure there are no signs of damage. Checking your Mazda battery can be simple with the right tools, and replacing a battery on your vehicle can take only a few minutes.

Using a battery tester or multimeter can ensure your Mazda battery has plenty of life left or signal that it's time for a replacement part. Look for any corrosion, leaking, or damage to the outer shell of your battery when you inspect under the hood of your Mazda vehicle.

Our Mazda service center is here to help make your battery change and inspection as easy as possible. Stop in to explore various battery options and get diagnostic information about your battery.

SIGNS YOU NEED MAZDA CAR BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When it's time to replace your battery, you may notice it's slow to start and the lights flicker when you turn the key. These signs indicate it's time for a new Mazda battery. Trouble starting your car is one of the most common ways to tell if there is a problem with the battery.

When turning over the engine, you may hear the car roar a little longer than it should before powering on. Sometimes, a car battery can be so drained that the vehicle's engine will make a cranking noise, but the car won't start.

Some other clear signs your Mazda battery needs replacement include any flickering display lighting, the appearance of electrical errors, or trouble producing heat in the winter. You may also notice a pungent odor from the hood of your car, which can be from the battery leaking acid or debris stuck between the battery posts and terminals.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR MAZDA BATTERY LIFE

A Mazda battery check may only take a few minutes of your time and offer you plenty of relief. This step is essential for diagnosing any performance issues or strange mechanical behavior. You can use a multimeter to check the voltage of your Mazda battery to ensure there is enough charge in the unit to start your car.

When turned off, your vehicle should have anywhere from 12.4 to 12.6 volts. A running car will likely read anywhere from 13.5 to 14.5 volts. A multimeter can be found at nearly any hardware, home improvement, or auto shop. However, you can use a battery tester to see more about the battery's capacity and approximately how much energy is left in the unit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I CHECK MY MAZDA BATTERY HEALTH?

You can check your Mazda battery's health using tools easily found at an auto parts store. A multimeter can read your battery's voltage and tell you whether the unit has enough power to run your car. Some battery testers may give you more precise battery health information, including voltage and how much life remains in the battery. Most drivers prefer to let their Mazda service center assess this information.

WHAT TYPE OF BATTERY DOES MAZDA USE?

Mazda cars can use various batteries, including generic brands. You can replace an old battery with a new or refurbished battery of the same voltage and power. However, getting a Mazda battery from the dealership will ensure your car gets all the energy it needs to function well for years. Although Mazda cars can run on various brands, consider getting one from the dealership that will ensure longevity and power.

HOW LONG SHOULD A MAZDA BATTERY LAST?

Like most car batteries, a Mazda battery can last anywhere from two to five years. If you aren't a frequent commuter or don't drive very often, you may notice your battery life span reducing. Mazda cars must be turned on for longer than quick commutes to charge fully. When properly cared for and used frequently, your Mazda battery will last closer to five years.
