The Yuasa EFB battery is the only OE-certified replacement for Mazdas equipped with the i-stop system. The battery has been tested to provide a strong and stable electrical supply required to operate the complex electronics of Mazda vehicles. 

Unlike other vehicle electrical systems in which the battery’s main purpose is to start the engine and store the charge, the enhanced flooded battery (EFB) in a Mazda Skyactiv vehicle system is connected directly to the Power Control Module (PCM). The PCM acts as the controller or the “brain” of the vehicle electrical system.

Manufactured in Japan to the same high standard, the Yuasa EFB-Li Ultra Long Life (ULF) battery uses higher quality optimized carbon material and dual rib separator construction (to reduce sulfating). With these features, the Yuasa EFB ULF batteries can withstand higher stress of longer discharge duration, higher load impact, and quicker charging performance with the addition of Lithium (Li) material. It charges 150 percent times faster than a conventional battery, and features up to 200 percent longer charge retention.

Meanwhile, the CTEK CT5 Start/Stop has a patented 8-step charging process. the CTEK CT5 Start/Stop delivers a charge rate of 5 amperes per hour, enough for most cars and SUVs while delivering a higher voltage of charge required by EFB batteries. It’s also easy to use. Simply attach it to the battery terminals (no need to remove or disconnect the battery), plug it in, and it’s ready to go. Indicator lights tell you when it’s charging and when it’s finished. Built-in checks also prevent against polarity reversal or if it isn’t connected properly. And since it is IP65 certified, it’s dust proof and splash proof making it perfect for garage use.
