Battery YUASA or OEM Subaru
Nice hack. I have a Yuasa that will be 13 years old this year and still going.
I have a yuasa ybx 3000 recharging battery for Mazda 6 2011. I've had it three years with no problems since recently.
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.
For the last couple years my riding mower has been starting off of the Yuasa battery that I had taken out of my Valkyrie. I took it out because it was 10 years old and I thought I might be pushing my luck with it. I credit using a tender to give me 12+ years on my bike battery plus it\u2019s a quality battery.
Had this issue with the R1250RT - apparently the hot engine means more compression, so need more power to start - after a while the OEM-battery just doesn’t have the punch.
I upgraded the battery to the Yuasa YTX20CH‑BS and it solved the problem.
Battery didn't outright die but it was weaker starting and with winter coming I didn't want to trust it.
My Forester is 2021, already replaced the starter and the battery. The current battery starts to feel weak as well.
I will not trust having a Subaru battery in my Subaru cars, I only buy Walmart, Costco or Interstate.
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.
