What model battery does the Axela use?
3 Answers
The Axela uses a 55D26L model battery. A battery is a type of storage cell, also known as an accumulator, which works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which mainly consists of lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The Axela is a compact car with dimensions of 4662 mm in length, 1797 mm in width, and 1445 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2726 mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with two naturally aspirated engines: one is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power output of 86 kW, while the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power output of 116 kW.
I used to be a car enthusiast and have tinkered with many car parts, including the battery of a Mazda Axela. That model typically uses a 55B24L battery, with a rated capacity of around 60Ah and a cold cranking current of about 600A, which is a fairly common lead-acid type. I found that opting for an AGM battery can improve durability, especially for more reliable starts in cold weather. Before replacing the battery, make sure the label on the old one matches, as a mismatch in size or power could affect the engine bay layout. For maintenance, it's recommended to check the terminals for corrosion every six months and keep the battery charged regularly. If you're replacing it yourself, remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to avoid short-circuit risks.
As a daily driver, I've also encountered battery issues with my Mazda3 (Axela). It comes standard with a 55B24L battery, and it's best to choose the size recommended by the manufacturer when replacing. You can directly check the spec section in the vehicle manual or find the model printed on the label on the side of the old battery. Avoid using batteries of other sizes to prevent electrical issues. Typically, a battery lasts about 3 years, and low charge can cause failure to start—I've replaced mine once. The process is straightforward: remove the old battery and install the new one. Also, remember to buy one with a high CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) rating to ensure quick starts in winter. A cost-saving tip is to opt for reputable brands like VARTA, which are durable and less prone to leakage.
