Yes. Subaru batteries are hot garbage. Go third party all day. I stand by any AGM I can pick up at Autozone, since they stand behind the batteries they sell.
Subaru batteries aren't great in the cold either
My battery made for Subaru died on my 2017 Forester 2 weeks before the warranty ran out. SUBARU has their own problems with their batteries.
Subaru batteries suck
My dealer replaced the battery, updated the firmware and did a parasitic drain test.
I'm still running on the original battery, which does surprisingly well until subzero temps set in, and then the poor thing just cries a lot and breaks my heart, so I jump it with my Noco and things are fine.
Any tips or advice before I fork out money for a new battery? I have some anxiety hoping its not the alternator dying, or less likely the starter. All things point to a slowly dying battery but I want a second opinion.
So we bought a new 550CCA battery and installed it and it started right up. When I pulled the 18 month old OEM battery out, I was shocked at the CCA rating: 356. 356!!!! That's insane.
