Battery ODYSSEY 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

Very unlikely to be the starter, though anything is possible. I'd put money on the battery being weak though. Voltage isn't the end all be all, you need to know about the cranking amps.

I will not trust having a Subaru battery in my Subaru cars, I only buy Walmart, Costco or Interstate.

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.
