vs
Battery Duracell or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Our car straight up died on the road twice, to the point it couldn't be jumped, with my kids in the back seat. Subaru eventually gave us an upgraded battery.
Pros: problem solved, upgraded battery
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The replacement battery I bought was a Duracell from Sam’s Club. Fit and worked fine.
Pros: worked fine, good fit
Vehicle:
Jeep Renegade
Mizerii, nimic nu bate Duracell, da, relativ mai scumpe dar nu mi se pare exagerat la cat duc.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: relatively more expensive
Am folosit la cheie de mașina cu keyless go & entry, cele de la auchan țin maxim 4 luni, indiferent că folosești cheia sau că o ți in casa (daca e rezerva), cele de la Duracell țin un an și ceva.
Pros: Duracell țin un an
Cons: Auchan țin 4 luni
Of course, you can get a new battery, and I recently had a new battery 80% covered by the dealer, since this is a very well known and documented problem. (My battery was going on 6 years old, so I felt like the discount made it a good time to replace it anyways. The discount was specifically because it is a known issue, and supposedly the new battery is more powerful and “solves” the problem, per the dealer.)
Pros: more powerful, solves problem
OEM Subaru batteries and not the best. When it's time for replacement go with a 3rd party battery.
Pros: 3rd party battery better
Cons: OEM not the best
It's a known issue that Subaru batteries fail much too early. Subaru began warranting great numbers of them a few years ago.... And they kept using "The same faulty batteries"!!! ...and they still are.
Cons: fails too early, faulty batteries
Vehicle:
Subaru
Power Sonic or Yuasa. Duracell is great for lots of service every year after an inspection. Never seen them make it to the next inspection alive.
Pros: Power Sonic or Yuasa
Cons: Duracell never last
My company uses Duracells. Do not recommend
Cons: do not recommend
Could be worse ... I bought a new 24 OB and within 3 months, the battery was replaced. Love the car, but crap batteries
Cons: crap batteries
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
