HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A NEW BATTERY?

Once your battery has reached around three years, it's essential to get it tested annually. However, some people choose to replace it at this point to save the trouble overall. Higher quality batteries will last for a long time and having them tested after this point will ensure that you keep any option up and running. Choosing to simply replace it will mean that you won't need to get it tested for another solid three years, so if you have the money, this is a viable option. Certain warning signs your car may exhibit may indicate it's time for a battery change. In most cases, the battery can be jumped if it happens to die on the road. From there, you should get it in immediately to diagnose the problem and get it replaced.

HOW DO I KEEP MY BATTERY FROM LOSING CHARGE?

When a car is idle, it will naturally start to lose its charge, varying in time from two weeks to around a month. This is because electricity from the battery is being used to maintain the dormant functions of your Mazda. One strategy to circumvent this factor and keep your battery from losing its charge is to unplug the negative battery cable from the terminal. This is only necessary if you know you won't be driving for long periods. This ensures that you won't have to jump the battery after a couple of months have passed. Even if you need to, it won't be a problem if you have a portable jump, a highly versatile tool that many people have.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY BATTERY IS DEAD?

If your battery is entirely dead, then it can't be charged fully, and it's time to get it replaced. All good batteries come to an end eventually, and there's no need to have a funeral for it. It's just the reality of life that parts break down, and from there, you must weigh and consider your battery options carefully. When you choose a higher quality battery, you won't have to worry about it dying as quickly as a standard one, so consider investing in something better.
