Agree with all that has been said! My battery crapped out on my 2020 outback recently. Immediately put in a non-OEM brand. Optima to be specific. Couldn\u2019t be happier.
I have a 2014 brz and power wise the only thing I've changed is an optima red top battery when my orm battery died. It does have a out twice the cca as the stock battery so maybe it helps.
The nice people at Optima would love to hear from you.
Being designed for industry they have a reputation for much longer life (up to 10 years) and better performance at cold temperatures.
I put an Optima Yellow Top battery into my 2018 OB 3.6R because the CCAs of the stock battery were pitiful (490 vs 720). Maybe check out other brands aside from Duralast? Also, get something that’s way beefier than the stock battery, especially if you live in hot or cold climates.
Odyssey batteries have served me well. AGM. My Benz has the battery under the passenger seat so I it’s irritating to change. My last Odyssey lasted 9 years and didn’t fail: I just decided to change it as a matter of maintenance.
I run the red top. I haven't noticed any issues except it doesn't fit the stock tray.
Optimas quality fell off hard when they moved manufacturing to Mexico. They've been riding on their previous reputation ever since.
I went through two of them in a season in my trail Jeep. I think years ago they were great batteries and the quality was there but now it’s just a brand name but junk product.
I installed the old battery after recharging it and it has been working great until now. The new battery was faulty and I ended up returning it for a refund.
