I put a Japan made energizer 2300mh storage at least for 8 monts, charged before storage and surprise, they make my flash work very quick even at maximum power, recycling flash time is even better than manufacturer specs.
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.
Eversince i did not have problem on my battery Bought my SUB in WA But we moved here in AZ last 11/2023 Just today my battery ended☹️so after 7yrs need a new battery. Its too hot here AZ like right now 7:15 pm still 110’super hot
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.
Our car straight up died on the road twice, to the point it couldn't be jumped, with my kids in the back seat. Subaru eventually gave us an upgraded battery.
The mechanic I go to gives me Bosch and they last around 2 years if not more. But then they do die within a day when they do.
I just preemptively changed my 2007 VW golf battery at 120k...I probably could have gone farther but every now and again I would get a weird code that likely was voltage relative.
I switched to Bosch after that. that failed after 2.5 years, just under warranty. so it can happen with any company. some batches might have good quality some do not.
Those Optima Red, Yellow and Blue tops used to be the cat's ass 20 years ago, but quality has fallen off big time in recent years
Bought a 2025 Rogue Platinum less than 2 weeks ago. So far, on day 4 the car was completely dead in my driveway. Needed the battery replaced.
