Battery Energizer or OEM Subaru

Bought my Energizer back in 2013, haven’t let me down once :)

So we bought a new 550CCA battery and installed it and it started right up. When I pulled the 18 month old OEM battery out, I was shocked at the CCA rating: 356. 356!!!! That's insane.

my only option for a "proper" battery was a red top at $150.00. The next best thing was a group 47 Energizer, 590 CCA, 3 year full replacement, 7 year warranty from Sams Club for $65.00. I just dropped a load on the clutch and I don't plan on keeping the car for more than another 3 years. I only use synthetic oil so it cranks easier in the winter anyway. SO I got the energizer.

Name brand but avoid ebay. I bought some energizers and panasonics from more than one (supposedly reputable) ebay seller a while back that didn't last more than a month or so.
