Battery Goes Dead
My 2008 Mazda CX-9 has a starting problem.
If you do not drive the car for a day or two the battery goes dead. If you drive it everyday there is no problem. I have had three repair shops tell me it is a bad battery. So I have purchased 3 new batteries and still the same problem. The last battery was with the dealer. I even had the car towed to the dealer when the battery was dead. They said that was the only way to tell.
But I can tell you that the change of batteries was not the problem. After you jump the battery, the car operates fine. And it will never happen if you drive it every day. Only a problem when the car is not started for 24-48 hours.
Everything in the car works normally. The exception is the Bluetooth voice recognition system. That does not respond at all. But the radio, navigation and other parts of the audio system seems to be working ok.
Can someone help me out?

Another possibility is that the charging rate is too low. The battery is being charged, but not replenished enough, and sooner rather than later it loses strength and dies.
I buy a new battery and I will get an additional day out of it for about 6 months.
Have to buy a new battery every year. Frustrating!
No shops can find any problem.
My Bluetooth stopped working a couple years ago. It was drawing some current but not enough to explain the battery drain. Mechanic disconnected it anyway. My CD stopped accepting dics several months ago (not sure how many). But after time with Mechanic, CD changer is working again.
We can’t be the only 2, can we...?
My problem has remained the same. I would like to figure it out!
My blue tooth stopped working a few years back. That was likely the issue.
has the car for 12 years. It was a great vehicle. This was one of the very few problems!
Thanks for all your help!
