vs
Battery OEM Subaru or Duralast
Reviews
with the auto start/stop eliminator installed after 1 year of ownership (using the auto start/stop feature the first 6 months and manually disabling it the last 6 months), my 2019’s battery lasted 5 years and 160k km before it started feeling weak and was replaced as a precaution.
Pros: battery lasted 5 years
Cons: battery feeling weak
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 160000 km
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
Both Duralast Golds. Went with Neverstart AGM from wally world about 2 months ago.
Last December, the OEM battery died and I replaced it with a new Duralast battery from AutoZone. Fast forward to today, the car wouldn’t start at all. Had to jump it just to get it running and drove straight to AutoZone to get it tested.
Cons: car wouldn’t start
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 31000 km
My Forester is 2021, already replaced the starter and the battery. The current battery starts to feel weak as well.
Cons: battery starts to feel weak
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I will not trust having a Subaru battery in my Subaru cars, I only buy Walmart, Costco or Interstate.
Cons: untrustworthy, short life
Vehicle:
Subaru
First battery lasted about a year and a half.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:

The only issue I had with any of them were the shitty batteries in the first two.
Cons: shitty batteries
Vehicle:
