The battery model for the Mazda3 Axela is 55D26L. Mazda collaborates with three major battery manufacturers: GS Yuasa, Hitachi, and Yokohama. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, operates by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'car battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The classifications of car batteries are as follows: 1. Conventional Battery: The plates of conventional batteries are made of lead and lead oxides, with the electrolyte being an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. Its main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages are low specific energy (the amount of energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life, and frequent maintenance. 2. Dry-Charged Battery: The full name is dry-charged lead-acid battery. Its main feature is that the negative plate has a high capacity for storing electricity. In a completely dry state, it can retain the stored charge for up to two years. When in use, you only need to add the electrolyte and wait 20-30 minutes before it can be used. 3. Maintenance-Free Battery: Due to its structural advantages, maintenance-free batteries consume very little electrolyte and generally do not require the addition of distilled water during their service life. They also feature resistance to shock, high temperatures, compact size, and low self-discharge. The service life is typically twice that of conventional batteries. There are two types of maintenance-free batteries on the market: the first type is filled with electrolyte once at purchase and requires no maintenance (adding supplementary fluid) thereafter; the other type comes pre-filled with electrolyte and sealed from the factory, making it impossible for users to add any supplementary fluid.
