Battery Duracell or OEM Subaru

I got a Duracell at Sam's Club for around $150, no prorating on 3 year warranty if it goes. Just a new battery.

I have a 2019 got a discounted replacement battery at the dealer and the new one is much larger (more powerful?).

I have a 2023 touring with the same problem. Dead battery multiple times within the first few months. The dealership put in a new larger battery (900 cca) Subaru brand, had to take out the factory battery tray to make room for it. No problems as of yet.

Don't get cheap ones!

Duracell is your only man

My car does not start well. I had replaced the battery myself, which helped it not be so bad.

Always like Duracell because I hate that damn bunny. But doesn't matter to me right now because my damn RMR is defective and drains the battery in 3 months.

I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.

This happened to me during rush hour on a busy street! 2020 Legacy, they told me it was a known issue with the battery and replaced it for free. It was an incredibly stressful morning though.

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.
