Battery Deka or OEM Subaru

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.

Couldn’t believe it lasted that long.

3yrs in on my 22 XT ,still good

Battery didn't outright die but it was weaker starting and with winter coming I didn't want to trust it.

First battery lasted about a year and a half.

The only issue I had with any of them were the shitty batteries in the first two.

My 2018 has had zero problems except for a recall for battery.

My OEM battery died in 17 months. Their replacement OEM battery died in three months.
