My 2019 Mazda 6 has 15,000 miles and the battery is 1 year and 7 months old. If I don’t drive it for 1 day, there’s a slight hesitation when starting the engine.

The battery is a Yuasa EFB bought from the dealer. I can’t test it yet because I’m out of town but the car starts quickly when parked for less than 1 day.
Could this be from dirty fuel injectors?

Are you driving the car enough to have the alternator charge the battery? My friend started her car everyday for 4-5 minutes to not let the battery die; it still died often because the car didn’t run enough to sufficiently charge the battery.
I’d say battery or alternator…
Does the problem get worse the longer the car sits? if so, you may want to check for some kind of parasitic draw on the power system.
The internet says that the 12 volt plugs and USB ports in your car remain powered even when the car is off. Do you have something plugged in that could be slowly sucking up all your juice overnight?
