Mine on my previous car, a 2016 elantra lasted 8 years with huge winter temp drops up to -45 celcius

They battery they install is pretty good, other people around here need to change it after 5 years

Pros: battery pretty good
Cons: change after 5 years

I’m in the UAE, where summers hit around 50°C. This Forester is my first car with auto start-stop, and I’m impressed that the battery lasted a solid 4 years. With my driving habits (lots of short runs), my previous cars’ batteries would barely survive 1–1.5 years. This one lasted more than double that.

Pros: long lifespan, good in hot climate

My 7.5 yr old Forester is still on the original battery. I did need a jump a couple weeks ago after sitting with the lights on for a half hour, which was weird, but it's been fine since

Pros: long lifespan
Cons: needed jump once

I had this issue as well, one day the car wouldn’t turn over. Then it would. Then there was no power. Then it would start. Over several days and weeks this would happen. It was explained to me that the Subaru batteries that come from the factory are made to hold just barely enough power to start the car. If that power is diminished in even the slightest degree, like with normal usage in the first 50k miles, then the battery does not have enough charge to do its basic task anymore, rendering it useless. As I understood it, the batteries in the new cars are not up to snuff.

Cons: wouldn't turn over, no power, not up to snuff
Vehicle: Subaru
