I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.
Yeah they use undersized batteries, but just buy a good one and that's the end of it. my 2019 Legacy had is original battery after 4 years when I traded it in.
When I was running two amps 2 12s eight speakers inside head unit capacitor and a built motor I use the yellow top with good success
Yes. Subaru batteries are hot garbage. Go third party all day. I stand by any AGM I can pick up at Autozone, since they stand behind the batteries they sell.
Had my '18 R since May '18 and still on original battery, 25 mile commute to work each way about 1/2 hwy . At 57,000 miles.
OEM battery in my 2016 Jetta with 215k miles is still going strong.
Crappy "genuine VW battery/parts" for you. Any of my other OEM Japanese car batteries lasted much longer. My 2011 Nissan 370z OEM battery lasted 7 years. It could've probably gone even longer if not for without driving it for long during the covid pandemic.
Mine gets around 4-5 hours of SOT. I do wish the SOT was better. The screen is dim so I have to up it to about 40% screen brightness which is a bummer because my previous tab s7+ was bright enough around 30%. I am satisfied with it but it doesn't meet expectations or the "ultra" name.
The batteries Mercedes uses seem to be really poor quality. I have a daily class and it seems they are changing the battery every 1.5 years so far on average…
I've dealt with this issue on both of my newer AMG vehicles. My older ones never had this problem. From my understanding, this is caused by the new mbux system being a bit of a power hog. I eventually had to invest in a trickle charger, and I have to charge both of my AMGs 3-4 times per year. It gets worse as your battery gets toward the end of its lifespan.
