Frequently asked questions
- It depends on the engine. Mazda MX-5 owners mostly buy Varta B32 Dynamic SLI 45Ah (47.95 €), Varta C30 Dynamic SLI 54Ah (67.40 €) and Varta B31 Dynamic SLI 45Ah (47.60 €) from us. The table shows the recommended battery for each engine with its price (VAT included) and a link to its page; with your number plate or VIN we tell you the exact one in seconds.
- Between 47.60 € and 134.95 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
- By the registration year: Mx-5 Rf Targa (2016-2025); Mx-5 IV (2015-2025); Mx-5 III (2005-2014); Mx-5 II (1998-2005); Mx-5 I (1990-1998). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.
- Four to six years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last a little less in city driving because of the number of restarts, but they are built for that cycling. If the car sits for weeks or cranks slowly in the cold, have it tested.
- It lasts only a few months: Start-Stop puts the battery through hundreds of cycles a day and a conventional battery cannot cope. The ECU may also disable the automatic stop function. Always fit EFB or AGM, the same technology as the original.
