The battery model for the Mazda3 Axela is 55d26l. The functions of the battery include: 1. Providing power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system; 2. Supplying power to the vehicle's electrical equipment when the engine is stopped or at low idle; 3. Assisting in powering electrical equipment when the generator's output is insufficient; 4. Mitigating voltage surges in the electrical system to protect the vehicle's electronic devices; 5. Storing excess electricity generated by the alternator. The Mazda3 Axela has a body length of 4662mm, width of 1797mm, height of 1445mm, a wheelbase of 2726mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50l.
Speaking of the Mazda3's battery, I actually took notes on this. For automatic transmission models after the 2017 version, they're generally equipped with the Q85, which is the factory-standard start-stop specialized model with a capacity of 65Ah and around 550A CCA. The manual versions use a slightly smaller one, the 75D23L, with a capacity of 60Ah and a slightly lower cold cranking amperage of around 480A. If you're replacing it yourself, the EFB series from Varta or Sail are good matches. Never cheap out by buying a regular lead-acid battery to replace the start-stop specialized model—it'll likely fail after a few deep discharges. You can actually check the factory label under the hood, and if you're unsure, just take a photo of the vehicle's nameplate and ask the seller to be safe.
Last year, I replaced the battery for my 2016 Mazda3 hatchback. The original battery was a Yuasa 55B24L, which is a compact-sized small battery. Later, I consulted a familiar repair shop owner who mentioned that the newer models now use a larger 80D26L battery because vehicles with auto start-stop systems have higher power demands. If you're buying one yourself, pay attention to the terminal type—Japanese cars often use thin post terminals. When replacing the battery, always disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive. After installing the new battery, drive for about half an hour to let the computer relearn the charging and discharging parameters. For cars with start-stop functionality, it's best to choose an EFB or AGM battery, and the Varta Silver Dynamic series is quite suitable.
