Battery OEM Mazda or OEM Subaru

My 2021 with 84k miles was very similar. Even had the auto start fail to restart the car once when it was cold. I just had the battery replaced with the new larger size one and it made a huge difference.

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.

Battery didn't outright die but it was weaker starting and with winter coming I didn't want to trust it.

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.

These are excellent cars but for some reason the batteries they use are bad. I had a 21 Mazda 3. The battery failed in 2023. They replaced it under warranty. The new battery lasted literally less than 6 months.

Mazda OEM batteries are trash. Always have been. 35 years with Mazda and we stocked a ton of them.
