CCP ICE/EV cars also salah owner....salahan bodo go buy.

Was this at traffic light or what?

But when so many owners are complaining of the same identical issue, it can't be that they are doing the installation wrong, right ?

Car owner changed the battery to another brand that does not match specs in Aug 2024. 8 months later the batter began to deteriorate faster than normal and the car having so many electronics that require consistent power shuts down to protect itself from irregular power situation.

You buy cars with so many sensors and electronics, you have to get an expensive battery to support it. No other way around it.

I almost choked reading this. Ofcourse, Mazda designed their cars to shut down mid-drive just because you used a capalang battery in the key fob. Sounds totally safe and logical. I’m sure their engineers thought, 'Let’s kill the engine on the highway if someone saves RM3 on a battery.'

Batteries can die anytime, anywhere, at 110km/h on the highway or while stuck in traffic. If Mazda actually built their system to shut the car down just because the key fob battery gave up, they’d be looking at lawsuits every day. Please dont skl.

I was trying to explain the telephone conversation I am always getting.

That's why avoid EV, PHEV, MH.

And all Germans now use mild hybrid and totally unreliable. Bodo.

you never know
even BMW has a specific procedure to change their battery

and never ever trust the shop staff too, their knowledge is worse than the owner or normal people
i order a battery change for my saga and that dude also didn't know the correct procedure to change it

he really thought he can just unplug whichever terminal is easier and put it back on whichever way/order he wants

I have a feeling he didn’t use deepcycle AGM batteries for start stop system.

The normal batteries cannot withstand the discharge level for start stop system.

I am begining to suspect that it's cheaper buy a new car than to replace a battery. High Income Nation mah. LOL

I think so too. Car won't stop running suddenly if no battery, this is ICE not EV.

Must be she stop somewhere then istop kick in and cannot restart.

Cukur I must know my shit right cause 2 units under my care are working perfectly and they are owned by women. Units owned by men, macam macam ada, pakai sampai acid keluar another pakai sampai RPM meter not working anymore after their 1st battery replacement.

i normally dont DGAF but this niasing really sin ka lan dou

yea.. Mazda cars with auto/start stop MUST use this code punya battery. Carput noob ka? don't know Mazda need to use special code battery

Maybe owner asked for cheapest

Asia's BMW got BMW problem is normal

The alternator also can spoil by the user DIY. If he install something that suck a lot of current without calculate or know how much the alternator generate, can smoke it.

I check the alternator current charge the battery after start the engine. It will supply 60A. Different car different rate.


Yes, it will trigger battery low light. Do the driver aware?

But it can be confuse also.

The car still able to start and run even light up. If the alternator not totally kong. It still can generate some current. But not 100%.

My experience like take a week or 2 before the alternator totally kong. The alternator maybe still supply like 60% while the battery supply 40% when driving. Slowly the alternator supply reduce %.

When totally kong, the new battery install will only last like 35min before the car shut down.

the battery over 500 , compatible but still branded save you a hundred. but this is istop era.
