Battery OEM Subaru or Duralast
Reviews
Yes. Subaru batteries are hot garbage. Go third party all day. I stand by any AGM I can pick up at Autozone, since they stand behind the batteries they sell.
Pros: Autozone stands behind batteries
Cons: Subaru batteries hot garbage
Vehicle:
Subaru
I JUST replaced my wife's 2013 Beetle battery with a Duralast from Autozone.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
My dealer replaced the battery, updated the firmware and did a parasitic drain test.
Pros: free replacement, updated firmware
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I used the duralast from autozone.
I use duralast and get about 4 years on a battery. No complaints at all.
Pros: long lifespan, reliable performance
Vehicle:
Jeep Cherokee
I'm still running on the original battery, which does surprisingly well until subzero temps set in, and then the poor thing just cries a lot and breaks my heart, so I jump it with my Noco and things are fine.
Pros: does well in mild temps
Cons: poor in subzero temps
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have a 2019 Subaru outback. The battery dies every two months and I am left stranded.
Cons: battery dies every two months
Vehicle:

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
