Battery Varta or OEM Subaru
Have a 2020 Touring XT. Battery went bad after 5 years so that was normal. No problems other normal wear and tear, tires and brakes.
Halt nur die Klassiker, alle 15j mal eine Batterie tauschen oder die wasserpumpe.
However, the choice that I currently consider most balanced in terms of performance/duration/cost is the VARTA Silver Dynamic AGM 95Ah.
with the auto start/stop eliminator installed after 1 year of ownership (using the auto start/stop feature the first 6 months and manually disabling it the last 6 months), my 2019’s battery lasted 5 years and 160k km before it started feeling weak and was replaced as a precaution.
My 2021 with 84k miles was very similar. Even had the auto start fail to restart the car once when it was cold. I just had the battery replaced with the new larger size one and it made a huge difference.
Replaced original battery at 93,000 miles. I live in Detroit. Cold winters. I guess I got lucky.
Battery didn't outright die but it was weaker starting and with winter coming I didn't want to trust it.
First battery lasted about a year and a half.
The only issue I had with any of them were the shitty batteries in the first two.
My 2018 has had zero problems except for a recall for battery.
