vs
Battery Energizer or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Recently i was able to acquire some Japanese Energizer 2300 and 800mAh AA and AAA batteries...from my experience with the Energizers so far they are much much better then any other NiMH battery I've ever used including the Chinese Panasonic NiMH batteries.
Pros: far better, low discharge
I have the Energizer battery in mine. It's worked perfectly so far. The included posts are plug and play with the i3 terminals.
Pros: worked perfectly, plug and play
Vehicle:
BMW
So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.
Pros: no leaks, great success
I have a 2019 got a discounted replacement battery at the dealer and the new one is much larger (more powerful?).
Pros: larger, more powerful
I have a 2023 touring with the same problem. Dead battery multiple times within the first few months. The dealership put in a new larger battery (900 cca) Subaru brand, had to take out the factory battery tray to make room for it. No problems as of yet.
Pros: new larger battery, no problems
Cons: dead battery multiple times
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
My car does not start well. I had replaced the battery myself, which helped it not be so bad.
Pros: helped it not be so bad
Cons: car does not start well
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
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
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
I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.
Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: dead battery, premature failure
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 59545 km
This happened to me during rush hour on a busy street! 2020 Legacy, they told me it was a known issue with the battery and replaced it for free. It was an incredibly stressful morning though.
Pros: replaced for free
Cons: stressful morning, known issue
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
