EFB, AGM or conventional for this engine?
The Mazda 3 2.0 has Start-Stop, so it needs an EFB (or AGM) battery of around 65 Ah to cope with the hundreds of restarts a day. A conventional battery in its place lasts a few months and the control unit ends up disabling Start-Stop. If the original was EFB you can upgrade to AGM, never the other way round.

Frequently asked questions
- Yes, you can install a higher capacity (Ah) battery as long as the physical dimensions fit your Mazda 3 2.0 battery compartment and the positive terminal position matches.
- The Mazda 3 2.0 requires a battery with the correct capacity (Ah) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) for this engine. Compatible batteries offer 65 Ah, 650 A (CCA), 12 V, case D23, Start-Stop (EFB/AGM) technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
- The exact Ah rating for the Mazda 3 2.0 depends on the vehicle's original electrical consumers. Compatible batteries offer 65 Ah, 650 A (CCA), 12 V, case D23, Start-Stop (EFB/AGM) technology. Use our finder for a precise recommendation.
- With normal use, a battery for the Mazda 3 2.0 lasts 3–5 years. A healthy alternator and avoiding deep discharges significantly extend battery life.
- You need the make, model and engine. If your car has Start-Stop (the engine switches off at traffic lights), it needs an EFB or an AGM battery, depending on what it came with: if it has an AGM, fit another AGM; if it has an EFB, another EFB or an AGM. On cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…), moving from EFB to AGM requires coding the new battery. Without Start-Stop, a conventional battery is fine, or an EFB or AGM if you want a longer life.
- A conventional (lead-acid) battery is for cars without Start-Stop. An EFB is a reinforced conventional battery for basic Start-Stop. An AGM offers the highest performance and is fitted as standard on cars with advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking or high electrical demand. Replacement rule: an AGM only with another AGM; an EFB with another EFB or an AGM; a conventional battery with any of the three. Never move down in technology.
