What battery does the Axela use?

[RoseAnn]

The Axela comes with a British ALEPH 55D36L battery as standard. It has a capacity of 55AH. The battery is an essential part of a car and can be categorized into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Below are some precautions regarding the Axela battery: 1. Liquid level: The electrolyte level should always be maintained between max and min. Check it monthly and top up with distilled water (pure water) as needed. Never add acid. 2. Timely charging: When the battery voltage is low, and the lights are dim or the engine struggles to start, perform an external charge promptly. Avoid overcharging or prolonged undercharging, as overcharging can cause active material shedding, while undercharging can lead to plate sulfation. Ensure the regulator voltage is neither too high nor too low. 3. Precautions: During use, regularly check if the vent holes are clear to prevent battery deformation or explosion. Keep the battery away from heat sources and open flames. Ensure proper ventilation during charging and use to prevent burns or injuries.

Last year, I replaced the battery in my Mazda Axela with a 12V lead-acid battery, typically rated at 55Ah. The original one was something like the 55D23L model. My car is a 2018 model, and the original battery started to slow down after 5 years of use. It wasn't until I took it to the repair shop for a check that I realized it needed replacement. I opted for a Sail brand battery of the same capacity, which cost me around 500 yuan. When choosing a battery, it's crucial to pay attention to the capacity—too small, and it won't start the engine; too large, and it might not fit in the battery compartment. For maintenance, I clean the oxides off the electrodes every quarter to avoid corrosion that could lead to poor contact. I also try to minimize short trips and drive more on highways to allow the battery to charge properly. After the replacement, starting the car in winter became much smoother and hassle-free. Remember, don't delay replacing the battery when its lifespan is up—getting stranded on the road can be really dangerous.

To save money on car maintenance, I researched the battery options for the Mazda3 Axela. It typically uses a 12V battery with a capacity ranging from 45Ah to 55Ah, depending on the model year. My 2015 model originally came with a 55Ah battery, and affordable brands like Varta or Camel cost only 300-400 RMB. Don’t cheap out on knockoff batteries—they’re prone to failure and end up costing more. If you’re handy, you can replace it yourself: first disconnect the negative terminal to prevent short circuits, then remove the old battery and install the new one. I compared prices on Taobao and saved over 100 RMB by buying a genuine one. After replacement, there was no change in fuel consumption, and winter starts were reliable—great value for money. I recommend checking the battery voltage every six months to prevent sudden failures. When shopping online, verify the model number to ensure compatibility and avoid choosing the wrong specification.

From a technical perspective, the Axela's battery must match the engine requirements. The standard is a 12V lead-acid type with approximately 55Ah capacity, and the cold cranking amps (CCA) should exceed 500A to ensure quick starts in low temperatures. When I replaced the battery, I opted for a Varta Silver with 550A CCA. Maintenance is simple: minimize short-distance driving and occasionally use a charger to top up the battery to avoid discharge. For brands, OEM or Bosch are reliable choices. Before replacement, measure the battery compartment dimensions to prevent incompatibility. Such batteries typically last 3-5 years, so regular voltage checks are crucial. Don't neglect terminal cleaning, as corrosion accelerates aging.
