Hi any update on those who used non-EFB batteries for their CX5?

Need to replace batteries soon kasi and looks like double or even triple ang price ng EFB batteries.

Energizer has well-priced EFBs & AGMs. The Energizer SRPs below were from last year, not sure if they still hold..... Seek our good tsikoteer, Wh1st3r. He might be able to help you out, sir.
PM'd you Delkor EFB(For Start/Stop) Distributor, too.

thank you sir

Sir travajante any efb battery shop you know of here in parañaque or south area? My original efb is 1 year and 6 months old already and kinda worried. Thanks

Had I iStop, I'd go EFB or AGM of any brand over any Regular Flooded Batt out there....esp if the car is still under warranty. The iStop/iEloop systems aren't cheap.

Spec-wise, some of the Energizer SLIs(Starting/Lighting/Ignition) Regular Flooded Lead Acid batts have better specs than Motolite Excel, and even Amaron Pro. Their EFBs, at current prices, are a bargain. Energizer AGMs are priced really well, even cheaper than some EFBs by others.

Anyone here already tried the Varta Silver Dynamic EFB Q85 as replacement for our Skyactiv iStop battery?

Clarios, formerly Johnson Controls Power Solutions Division, now owns Varta, Optima, Delkor, among others. Their batts are probably the most recognized. How are they priced? I won't bet on it to be much better than Yuasa or Panasonic in the tropics though.

I inquired last month at a Varta dealership at QC, they're selling Varta Silver Dynamic EFB Q85 around ₱10,000 with 18 mos warranty.

I bought Yuasa 95D23L Q85 EFB last 2019 for ₱14,500 with 2 years warranty at Mazda Makati

That's around where most EFBs are priced. You checked Delkor & Energizer?

reminder to those with i-stop when replacing batteries to Disconnect FIRST the battery sensor on the negative terminal before pulling out the negative terminal..

then connect the positive then negative terminal before connecting the battery sensor. according to the manual and other forums that the sensor can be damaged by the spark generated when you connect the battery to the car.

Resurrecting this thread.
Are the alternatives mentioned above still the best way to go?
Mazda dealer currently sells Yuasa only, P18.9k including "programming."
Is this our only option now?
Thank you very much in advance.
