Mazda CX-5 battery model specifications, CX-5 battery capacity, the battery model of this car is Varta 80D26L. It is a 60AH battery. The Mazda CX-5 battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Here is some additional information: Battery: A battery made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life varies from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the condition of the vehicle. If the vehicle's alternator recharges normally and there is no leakage or grounding of electrical appliances, it can generally be used for more than 3 years. If you feel that the battery is not charging or the starter is weak, and the headlights are noticeably dimmer, the battery should be removed and charged with a charger for 12-24 hours. If it still doesn't work and the mileage has reached more than 50,000 KM, and the alternator has no faults, you should consider replacing the battery.
When I replaced the CX-5 battery two years ago, I specifically checked the information. This car originally comes with a Q85 model battery, mostly from Japanese brands like Yuasa or Unified. The specifications are 12V 60Ah with 550A cold cranking current. However, note that there might be differences depending on the year and model: domestic versions before 2017 generally use this model, but some versions after 2018 switched to smaller 45Ah batteries. I recommend not only checking the model and specifications when replacing the battery but also measuring the battery compartment size—once, a friend bought a higher-capacity battery but couldn’t close the cover. For cars with auto start-stop functionality, extra caution is needed; you must choose EFB or AGM batteries to handle frequent start-stop cycles. During maintenance, remember to ask the technician to check the alternator voltage—unstable voltage can shorten battery life.
