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.
My stock OEM battery that came with my 2018 Outback lasted longer than I thought it would.
I'm 2+ years and 47,000 miles in to the factory battery and haven't had an issue.
My 7.5 yr old Forester is still on the original battery. I did need a jump a couple weeks ago after sitting with the lights on for a half hour, which was weird, but it's been fine since
My 2018 has had zero problems except for a recall for battery.
I bought a 6v Yuasa battery for my old Harley and it lasted about six months. Would drop from fully charged to 2.5 volts in a week of sitting.
Yuasa used to make great batteries, would get ten years out of a battery ('91 R100GS) outside w/o a battery tender. Not any more, the last two were good for six or seven months
I should have bought a yuasa. I bought another brand and rode it hard and two days later it wouldn\u2019t start. I ordered a yuasa since that\u2019s what was in there.
