Yeah they use undersized batteries, but just buy a good one and that's the end of it. my 2019 Legacy had is original battery after 4 years when I traded it in.
Cons: undersized batteries
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
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
My dealer replaced the battery, updated the firmware and did a parasitic drain test.
Pros: free replacement, updated firmware
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Learned that the battery in the Sorento was incorrect. Replaced with correct battery. All is right in the world.
Pros: correct battery, all right
Cons: incorrect battery
Vehicle:
Kia Sorento
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

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
Well it's 30 months old and is still 6 months under the pro-rated warranty. Took it to a dealer, they replaced it and said it would be 226 dollars! I asked if they checked the warranty and the technician stepped away and came back 20 minutes later. "kia corporate declined the warranty on your battery".
Cons: warranty claim declined
