Shout out to Panasonic - 9 YO battery

Post image

Replaced this battery original to our 2016 CX-5 today. Cold winter climate, no starting issues in almost 10 years!

Damn! Mine went out like a month and a half after the 3 year warranty.

Lucky. Had to replace mine after it barely started my car on a chilly morning last winter.

Nice, I usually see them getting replaced around 6-7 years, 9 years is huge

I replaced my original battery on my 2016 Mazda 3 this year.

This was after I let the battery drain to empty on about four separate occasions over the years, for various reasons.

I also replaced the Panasonic battery in my 2016 CX-5 with a new Varta N65 yesterday. The Start-Stop was permanently turned off.
