Battery OEM Subaru or OEM Volvo
Reviews
Didn’t even have to replace the battery in that time (11 years).
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:
Volvo XC70
I’m in the UAE, where summers hit around 50°C. This Forester is my first car with auto start-stop, and I’m impressed that the battery lasted a solid 4 years. With my driving habits (lots of short runs), my previous cars’ batteries would barely survive 1–1.5 years. This one lasted more than double that.
Pros: long lifespan, good in hot climate
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Still on vanilla battery. As part of my wife's start process is start car, press button to turn off auto off. Seems to be working.
Pros: long lasting, working well
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 120000 km
Our car straight up died on the road twice, to the point it couldn't be jumped, with my kids in the back seat. Subaru eventually gave us an upgraded battery.
Pros: problem solved, upgraded battery
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
OEM Subaru batteries and not the best. When it's time for replacement go with a 3rd party battery.
Pros: 3rd party battery better
Cons: OEM not the best
My OEM battery died in 17 months. Their replacement OEM battery died in three months.
Cons: died in 17 months, replacement died in 3 months
