I got one for my truck, which I only use once a month. Mine is permanently mounted under the hood and is screwed to the battery terminals. It does a great job, and I think that the vehicle's electronics are better served when they are always powered, versus batteries going low or dead. That's interesting that manufacturers sell those. The dealer did a draw test on my 2005 truck and said that the battery would last something like 12 days under the load. That was in warm temps.
Concentrate and ask again LOL I had something ship from Pennsylvania last Monday and on Wednesday got the notification that it was with the carrier and gonna be delivered that day. Later in the evening the USPS site said "En route to the Distribution Center Texas." It finally showed up late Friday evening. Maybe my answer was Outlook not so good
My car has that annoying "auto stop/start" crap that I have to disable every time I crank it. Apparently all the new-fangled computerized gizmos require an AGM battery to run everything and make sure the car stop/starts as it should. There are higher parasitic draws on new vehicles, so a lot to be annoyed by and I don't want a dead battery to be one of them. I have never had an AGM battery before so I'm not sure what to expect, but I know they are more expensive than regular batteries. I looked at the quick disconnect and decided to stick with the battery clamps since that seems simple enough. A guy posted on the Cadillac forum that his sedan has the battery in the trunk and he keeps it on a battery tender. The first time he hooked it up, he forgot about it, got in the car and drove off. I'm sure there were plenty of "EV" jokes when people saw him dragging a corded plug down the interstate.
Mazda stop offering that in the states, but it's in their cars in other countries. I wonder if there's a "hack" to permanently disable it. I found ways outside of the manual to disable stuff I don't like. The only upside I can see to Auto Stop is that these newer cars burn a LOT of gas just idling. I once pulled into my right-of-way and stopped to BS with my neighbor while I was sitting in my car. I have my Fuel Monitor set to briefly display when I turn off the ignition so I see my MPG every trip. I was shocked at how low it was because of the gas I burned just sitting there.
I'd say that 95% of vehicle owners really hate that stupid stop/start. I notice a definite hesitation from a stop if I leave it active. There are tons of after-market "solutions" to disable it; some sold on Amazon. I will not add anything of the sort until my factory warranty runs out; not worth it to possibly void the warranty. It's a matter of training oneself to press that button after starting the engine, so I'm sure in time it will become routine.
I'll admit to something stupid I do. I've had my Mazda for over 5 years. I get on a streak of wanting to turn off [mute] the radio, and instead of hitting the knob on the console, I push the Start/Stop button on the dash (where a normal radio knob should be) and accidentally turn the damned car off and have to restart it. It pi$$e$ me off when I do it. And I do it in groups. It's interesting that there are models that allow you to "permanently" disable the Start/Stop, and there are those like your car where it reverts to "ON" every time you start the car.
My husband's F150 was assembled during one of the "supply chain disruptions" and the start/stop module was not available at the time so they built the truck without it. What a bonus that turned out to be.
