If i were to upgrade my battery to something better the stock what would be best?
Chances are any replacement battery you buy is going to be manufactured by Johnson Controls Inc. My wife works for them and they own somewhere around 70-80% of the aftermarket battery brands out there. An Interstate battery and an Everstart Maxx are essentially the same battery inside, One's in a white box ones in black, same CCA Etc. The difference is in the warranty and pro rated schedules for each battery. Johnson Controls also manufactures a large Number of OEM batteries, I don't know if they make the OEM mazda ones or not. I do know that when I bought my car we received S-Plan pricing because of the agreement Mazda has with Johnson Controls. Optima is also made by Johnson Controls but those are a different battery tech then the standard batteries like Interstate and EverStart
Costco.
