No battery but got capacitor to store the energy after you moved you hand. After a certain number of years, have to change and it’s not cheap. A battery is much cheaper. 🤣 No wonder my Seiko failed on me. So I got an omega. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos I don't hear Mazda owners say their car is very fuel efficient. Last time my Mazda 6,2.5 can easily hit 12Km/L.50% city Driving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless its hybrid, nothing can give better mileage. Which is usually an Atkinson cycle engine for the bigger 2L ones. Albeit its also because of current trend towards electric vehicles, most ICE engine research money would have been diverted into hybrid or EV research. Certainly I as a manufacturer won't spend anything beyond bare minimum on the above. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koster 3rd Gear July 15, 2022 Share July 15, 2022 @Axela525 haha but with the high coe now, think more likely car owners are going to extend coe when 10 years is up (including me)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic July 15, 2022 Share July 15, 2022 Oh my. Isnt this the Mazda version of a voltage stabilizer? Omg...so ex to replace. Youtube no have tutorial on how to replace the capacitors? Go sim lim tower buy capacitors ownself replace. The car should be able to drive w/o it. Cannot just disconnect it? If there is an error code can use obd tool to ignore and off the warning light. Dont understand why back then mazda use voltage stabilizers in their car. Capacitors shelf life can be short depending on quality. Plus they do not like heat. They will only degrade at a faster rate under exposure of heat. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no separate capacitor or battery just for SSS. Mazda i-eloop is mainly about recouping energy from braking and to offload the alternator and potentially help with mazda SSS (if they have) Mercs have 2 batteries.. 1 secondary for the SS. MZ3 have I-eloop but 6 don’t have !!?.. ok learnt something new.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
