Best Battery for Subaru Forester

I ended up going to batteries plus, getting a Duracell battery that they installed and warranty for 3 years ago for about $300.

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.

I have ordered a Yuasa 7031 which has 72Ah VS 40Ah on the 7055, and 720CCA VS 400CCA.

After multiple electrical tests, and multiple batteries fitted, the Yuasa 7055 did the trick. EV mode engaged immediately after I fitted it.

I’m in the UAE, where summers hit around 50°C. This Forester is my first car with auto start-stop, and I’m impressed that the battery lasted a solid 4 years. With my driving habits (lots of short runs), my previous cars’ batteries would barely survive 1–1.5 years. This one lasted more than double that.

I just replaced my OEM Subaru battery on my '22 with an Odyssey AGM 35 for about $370.00. The original OEM battery lasted about 3 1/2 years, let\u2019s see how long this one will last.

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 Forester is 2021, already replaced the starter and the battery. The current battery starts to feel weak as well.

this happened to me on Michigan Ave in Chicago during traffic. I have a 2020 forester as well. Has happened about 4x in the past few weeks; brought it to the dealer, they told me I just needed a new battery!

As I came to a stop, my car shut down as it does normally but the traffic began moving just as that happened. So as my car auto-stopped, I took my foot off the gas and the entire car seized - My Eye Sight was disabled, dashboard lights lit up and a high-pitched "There's clearly a fucking problem" chime screamed out at me. I had to put my car in to park (on a 4-lane highway in Boston traffic), stop the engine, restart and then recommence my drive. Fuck this feature in traffic. I'm turning that shit off from now on. EDIT: A huge "thank you" to this Sub for informing that this is a battery issue, and there was a battery drain settlement that should cover this - I specifically called that out in my service notes, and they replaced the battery under that warranty at no charge.
