My 2020 Mazda CX-5 has a hard starting/long cranking issue if I don’t drive it for 1 day but it doesn’t get worse even if I don’t drive it for 1 week.
I can’t test the battery yet because I’m on a work trip but I connect it to my CTEK CT5 battery charger once a month. This charger supposedly restores the capacity and fully charges the battery.
The car has 40,000 miles and the current battery is 1 year old.
