Still on vanilla battery. As part of my wife's start process is start car, press button to turn off auto off. Seems to be working.
I bought a red top optimum for my 2019 forester sport. Have had it in for almost 2 years without issue thus far.
Got my yellow top in my 2000 subaru forester still going good 4 years up north where it gets cold
Before anything I'd replace the battery, something like an Optima Yellowtop. I never bothered with caps, the yellowtop put an end to the lights dimming rather quickly.
Any tips or advice before I fork out money for a new battery? I have some anxiety hoping its not the alternator dying, or less likely the starter. All things point to a slowly dying battery but I want a second opinion.
I had this problem with my 2019 Forester in stop and go traffic on the Dallas North Tollway. I was able to force the car into park and shut it off and back on manually, and this happened about a half dozen more times before my dealer finally admitted that there was a class action on those batteries. I’ve since had it replaced two additional times under a labor warranty. Like I guess it’s fine because it’s free, but very annoying that I bought a Subaru for reliability and I’m in the shop at least every 9 months for a new battery.
My battery made for Subaru died on my 2017 Forester 2 weeks before the warranty ran out. SUBARU has their own problems with their batteries.
