vs
Battery SAMSUNG or OEM Subaru
Reviews
I have a 2023 touring with the same problem. Dead battery multiple times within the first few months. The dealership put in a new larger battery (900 cca) Subaru brand, had to take out the factory battery tray to make room for it. No problems as of yet.
Pros: new larger battery, no problems
Cons: dead battery multiple times
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Subaru OEM batteries can be pretty shit in cold weather. Even the service department at my dealership admits this. I eventually fed up with my Subaru batteries chugging in cold weather and replaced them with Interstate AGM batteries (with more CCA). I haven’t had any troubles since.
Pros: no troubles since
Cons: shit in cold weather
Vehicle:
Subaru
Subaru are known for using cheap batteries, winter just makes it even worse. within the first 2 weeks of buying a 2022 Outback, i junked the battery and put in a great aftermarket one.
Pros: great aftermarket one
Cons: cheap batteries
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
Could be worse ... I bought a new 24 OB and within 3 months, the battery was replaced. Love the car, but crap batteries
Cons: crap batteries

Yes, I have had this tablet for less than a year with moderate to medium use and I am already looking for a replacement. I am looking to do it myself and I am not that skilled but I will give it a go, but it isn't great that the battery is already needing a charge once a day even with "battery saver mode" applied.
Pros: battery saver mode
Cons: charge once a day
I had 3 such tablets in a row. 3 times the worst battery. I'm very disappointed.
Pros: worst battery
Cons: very disappointed
I recently got one, somehow it feels less. Idk if it’s because of the software but it seems to be draining even while being idle. Which is weird. People are quoting 7-9 hrs of sot and i feel like am not getting anywhere near that.
Cons: draining even while idle
I've had the Tab S9 since launch and the battery has always been naff. It's a great tablet let down by lousy battery life.
Pros: great tablet
Cons: lousy battery life
I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.
Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: dead battery, premature failure
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 59545 km
