The OEM tundra batteries only last me 3.5 years at best. I always replace with an Optima battery.

I got ten years on a Varta in my MB 212. When I changed it out I was really surprised it was the original w/97k on it.
Subaru OEM batteries can be pretty shit in cold weather. Even the service department at my dealership admits this. I eventually fed up with my Subaru batteries chugging in cold weather and replaced them with Interstate AGM batteries (with more CCA). I haven’t had any troubles since.
Subaru are known for using cheap batteries, winter just makes it even worse. within the first 2 weeks of buying a 2022 Outback, i junked the battery and put in a great aftermarket one.
Wife’s Ascent had a factory battery that last maybe 2 winters. Replaced it was a yellow top and haven’t had any problems since. Subaru even gave us credit for it so that was nice
Personally I'd always go with Bosch but recently had to get a new battery for my wife's car. I got a Yuasa battery and so far do good.
I always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.
I've owned a win 1 , 2, 3 and the first win max.
the only major issue i've had is the battery bloated on my win 1, which was apparently super common.
All since lifespan has been 2-3 years. I only sell them at customer request…
Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.
