vs
Battery Energizer or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Still on vanilla battery. As part of my wife's start process is start car, press button to turn off auto off. Seems to be working.
Pros: long lasting, working well
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 120000 km
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
I typically use what is shipped with the packaging. Most of my red dots are trijicon and they ship with energizer so I will continue to use it. I feel the companies do their own testing trail and error with battery life and usage at all power levels under all temperatures.
Pros: good battery life
Energizer. Better QC than Duracell imho.
Pros: better quality control
I had same issue with energizer batteries both lasted exactly 14 months. Luckily battery came with18 months warranty so in total they lasted 28 months.
Pros: 18 months warranty
Cons: lasted only 14 months
I had this issue as well, one day the car wouldn’t turn over. Then it would. Then there was no power. Then it would start. Over several days and weeks this would happen. It was explained to me that the Subaru batteries that come from the factory are made to hold just barely enough power to start the car. If that power is diminished in even the slightest degree, like with normal usage in the first 50k miles, then the battery does not have enough charge to do its basic task anymore, rendering it useless. As I understood it, the batteries in the new cars are not up to snuff.
Cons: wouldn't turn over, no power, not up to snuff
Vehicle:
Subaru
