Odyssey agm65 battery you can buy this battery on the link I added or on Amazon with free shipping. This is a perfect swap for an OEM battery. Truly Plug and play. Learned this from someone on Reddit and decided to try it myself and it works perfectly.

Pros: perfect swap, works perfectly

Cons: no vent plug hole

Part number: AGM65

Its an AGM battery, once it gets depleted heavily this happen. Just replace it. The factory batteries are made by exide or varta so just seek out a same spec replacement from those brands

Pros: Replace depleted AGM battery

Part number: 35

That said, do not buy another Subaru battery. They are way over priced and extreme garbage. You'll be replacing it again in a year to 2 years; they are notorious for having failed cells in just a couple years. If you want something that will last a long time buy an AGM from Odyssey.

Pros: last a long time

Cons: failed cells, over priced

Vehicle: Subaru
