Battery OEM Mazda or OEM Subaru
Reviews
My 2021 with 84k miles was very similar. Even had the auto start fail to restart the car once when it was cold. I just had the battery replaced with the new larger size one and it made a huge difference.
Pros: huge difference
Cons: auto start failed
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 84000 km
Replaced original battery at 93,000 miles. I live in Detroit. Cold winters. I guess I got lucky.
Pros: long lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 93000 km
My stock OEM battery that came with my 2018 Outback lasted longer than I thought it would.
Pros: lasted long
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I'm 2+ years and 47,000 miles in to the factory battery and haven't had an issue.
Pros: no issues, good lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 47000 km
Battery didn't outright die but it was weaker starting and with winter coming I didn't want to trust it.
Cons: weaker starting, untrustworthy
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 83000 km
First battery lasted about a year and a half.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The only issue I had with any of them were the shitty batteries in the first two.
Cons: shitty batteries
Vehicle:
Subaru
My 2018 has had zero problems except for a recall for battery.
Cons: battery recall
Vehicle:
Subaru
These are excellent cars but for some reason the batteries they use are bad. I had a 21 Mazda 3. The battery failed in 2023. They replaced it under warranty. The new battery lasted literally less than 6 months.
Cons: poor quality, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mazda OEM batteries are trash. Always have been. 35 years with Mazda and we stocked a ton of them.
Cons: poor quality, unreliable
