battery

I have a 2016 CX-5 and today it wouldnt start. Now I did fully wash it and clean the interior, so the doors were open for some time, but really not for an enormous amount of time. I did not have accessories on or the radio. I cleaned all the seats and vacuum it out really good. Then 2 hours...

I'll be out of the country for 6 weeks and don't have close enough friends to request spending 30 minutes every week or two driving my car, how should I store my car during this time? Is it safe to leave the battery disconnected during this time to reduce battery drain? I have heard topping...

Hi, I own a mazda 6 GT 2016 4 cyl. I got the "Battery System need to check" (something on those lines). I called the Jim Ellys dealership in ATL and the first thing they toll me over the phone is that I need a new battery and it will cost close to $600.00. I am just curious if is normal...

Battery not charging Help! I have a 92 Mazda Protege 5 speed 4 cylinder. When driving at night the charge light comes on on the dash and after about 15 minutes the car dies. When checking the battery is just barely too dead to run the car. 4 new alternators have been put in and 2 new batteries...

My girlfriend has had her 2013 CX-5 for just over a year, ~72K miles, and has been blessed with no major issues untill today. On her drive home the traction control, tire pressure light came and master warning light came on all at the same time. About 20 minutes after that, the engine light came...

Looking for a solid battery in the $100 region. I know nothing about cars or the best place to find batteries other than AutoZone and Walmart, nor do I know anything about the best brands.

I had my car in today for mnt at dealer (oil change). I mentioned that it's been idling rough lately. His first question was if I had replaced the battery recently. I had. He then said that doing so reset some setting on the CPU that controlled the throttle. That the CPU opens the throttle more...

My battery has been very weak if it sits overnight in the cold after a few short trips (<2 miles), and in the morning the car wouldn't start. Come to find out, the water in the battery was practically bone dry. I filled up the six cavities with new distilled water, and so far, so good, but...

My battery died last night. It was really weird as when we walked up to the car the interior lights were still on (normally they'd time out wouldn't they?) The car unlocked normally. I pushed start and nothing, red key on dash, flashing push button (orange). We tried to jump it but the key was...

Hello, I just replaced the original battery that came with the vehicle after I could not start the engine yesterday morning. Typically, I keep the car in the garage overnight but the other night, I had it stay outside and yesterday morning the temperature was right at freezing, 32'F or 0'C...

Hi all, I just purchased a used 2011 Mazda 2. As usual, i used to plugged in a Cigarette Lighter Socket splitter with voltage measuring function. I noticed that the voltage was good initially when i started the engine (reading 13.4-14v) and while the car run for a while, say 15 mins, the...

Hello, First of all I would like to thank everyone in advance who would take the time to read the long problem description and try to help at least by giving their opinions. Here is my problem: My friend has a Mazda Premacy 2004 with 1.9 gasoline engine. It is a manual gearbox car. The car...

Hi there, Hopefully someone can help me out....my battery light in my 2007 mazda3 keeps flashing on and off. I've jow replaced the alternator and battery, what else could it be?? Everytime I bring it to the mechanic they see nothing wrong with it. I'm getting pretty frustrated! If anyone has...

We need help because nobody knows whats cause it or even how to fix it. Last week, out of nowhere, around 5 indicator lights (BSM OFF, TCM OFF, battery, oil, seatbelt) on the dashboard turned on. I took it to the dealer service, they think it was because of the "after market" trailer hitch...

(hi) Pleasure to come across the forum! I just got my '02 Protege5 from a dealer. 140K Miles, new transmission. I did a brake job and replaced all but the brake calipers, replaced a gasket and an engine harmonizer, and also replaced a timing belt. Fun! (and thankfully just within the initial...

I know the battery is supposed to be a no-maintenance item, but there's a window on the side that shows how much liquid is inside. I tried to look at the level but I couldn't distinguish the liquid from the plastic shell. Maybe it was too dark. Does anyone have any experience replenishing the...

I've recently run into a few odd electrical issues in my '12 Mazda 3, not sure if anyone else has seen these problems with their cars or not... 1. Headlights are flashing/pulsing when I brake. I put in a new battery because the OEM wasn't up to the task of reliable starting in the brutally cold...

Planning on running power from the battery to a powered subwoofer which will be in the cargo space. Not sure if there is a better way to run the wire other than through the grommet and bundle of wires coming through the firewall on the passenger side below the glove box. I did notice that there...
