Battery Exide or OEM Subaru

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.

Exide are great batteries and are a tier 1 supplier with Yuasa, Bosch, Varta.

Subaru OEM batteries can be pretty shit in cold weather. Even the service department at my dealership admits this. I eventually fed up with my Subaru batteries chugging in cold weather and replaced them with Interstate AGM batteries (with more CCA). I haven’t had any troubles since.

Subaru are known for using cheap batteries, winter just makes it even worse. within the first 2 weeks of buying a 2022 Outback, i junked the battery and put in a great aftermarket one.

Wife’s Ascent had a factory battery that last maybe 2 winters. Replaced it was a yellow top and haven’t had any problems since. Subaru even gave us credit for it so that was nice

OEM Subaru batteries and not the best. When it's time for replacement go with a 3rd party battery.

Got exide for KTM, it gave up right after warranty, switched back to amaron. The first amaron battery lasted for 3 years without any hiccups.

My exide battery went dead after 2 years!!

Yesterday i brought Amaron battery for my Fz 25.

Hoping it serves me well.

My Bullet needs Amiron, not happy with Exide. It's some design tuning, I suppose
