Thanks guys! Proof that diesel CX-5 is a performer not just in the SUV class but at par with sedans as well.

I didn't know that you need to reprogram the I-stop after changing the battery, when Mazda China replaced my battery, parang wala naman silang nireprogram, also, pag uuwi ako ng pinas, I always disconnect my bateery negative terminal, wala naman error lumalabas pagkabit ko ulit.

From the manufacturers perspective.. They shouldnt be bothered just because the battery dies.
That's just bad product tbh.

I wonder what will happen if you use the ordinary type of battery? This reminds me, I don't know exactly what battery I installed. It doesn't have any stickers but I know it's from Motolite.

Travs posted pics of some articles describing potential issues with using a non-EFB with istop. Possible issues can be with damaging some of the istop electronic components.

But I reckon such issue can happen only when using istop. For those who are not activating it, perhaps an ordinary battery would do?

Since my car is still under warranty, I replaced my M3's battery with Yusana EFB. Perhaps I'll try an ordinary motolite battery after my car's warranty expires.

Pati battery kasama sa warranty? Got my cx5 on Nov 2017 and so far battery is still ok *KNOCK ON WOOD*

I think (not sure) that regular batteries will have a shorter life span compared to an istop battery.

Though Lakwatsero said that he and other CX5 club members use the regular Amaron battery.

*Lakwatsero: is your regular Amaron battery 1 or 2sm?

*Archer: Damn, if I see those warning signs on the monitor, I would panic hahaha

2SM fits sa Gas model pero snug fit. Kailangan iremove yung battery insulator.

For CX5 Diesel, meron na rin nakapalit to 3SM Amaron, wala naman problem sa fit.

I think the CX-5 and the "6" share the same size, 3SM. You have to take note of the positive terminal placement. I didn't know and my friend made a mistake so I have to pull and somehow "arrange" the wires to connect the battery.



The position of my forefinger should be the place for the positive terminal and because of that, I had to remove the cable below and bend the wires so as to fix the terminals.

Anyways, my friend will give me another one to replace it. I told her that it is working and is still working so I told her that she instead give me the Exide AGM once it is available.

Yes! I got it for free. I'm so fortunate to have her as my friend.

I installed a regular Amaron battery after getting fed up with the 2yr lifespan of the EFB even without using istop. Warning lights gone after an hour drive, tested istop once just to check if it's working, lasts 2 minutes in traffic like the stock EFB. After that, I just turn it off every drive.

A lot of CX-5 club members are using non-EFB Amaron for a few years now, no reported issues so far.

Have the batt health checked by the dealership & buy yourself a CTek CT5 Start/Stop before you head up north. That should push your worries back, sir. Happy motorin'!

Battery Management System warning will pop up when your batt needs replacing. When that lights up, i-stop will be disabled but you'll still be able start your vehicle for another few weeks. Enough time to get a new battery.

Batt failures tend to be unpredictable. Some show signs, others just die randomly, unexpectedly. Jumpstart kits are good to have in one's trunk.
