It had a Honda battery in my Subaru for years
Pros: lasted for years
Vehicle:
Subaru
Honda batteries (at least the normal-sized ones, not so much the little 151R's) are honestly pretty solid.
Pros: pretty solid
My dealer replaced the battery, updated the firmware and did a parasitic drain test.
Pros: free replacement, updated firmware
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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.
Pros: car started right up
Cons: low CCA rating
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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.
Cons: slowly dying battery
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have a 2019 Subaru outback. The battery dies every two months and I am left stranded.
Cons: battery dies every two months
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The OEM battery sucks I upgraded mine to an AGM with an extra 100 or so CCA. A better battery will also let your auto start stop last longer. Stock battery would never last a stop light for while under load new battery gives me a lot more time even under load.
Pros: auto start stop lasts
Cons: OEM battery sucks
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
My battery keeps dying if I dont use my car for 1-2 days and Subaru is failing to address the issues.
Cons: battery keeps dying, failing to address
Subaru has had a problem with their electrical systems since 2014. Batteries last 2 years, max. 2018 legacy is on its third battery in 4 years. 13,000 miles. $600.00 in batteries.
Cons: batteries last 2 years
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
Mileage: 20921 km
Subaru batteries aren't great in the cold either
Cons: poor in cold weather
