Battery OEM Nissan or OEM Subaru

Crappy "genuine VW battery/parts" for you. Any of my other OEM Japanese car batteries lasted much longer. My 2011 Nissan 370z OEM battery lasted 7 years. It could've probably gone even longer if not for without driving it for long during the covid pandemic.

My dealer replaced the battery, updated the firmware and did a parasitic drain test.

So we bought a new 550CCA battery and installed it and it started right up. When I pulled the 18 month old OEM battery out, I was shocked at the CCA rating: 356. 356!!!! That's insane.

Saturday morning, we pull up to the house outside of Palmdale to this scene - a beat ass Chevy Celebrity trying to jump start an even more thrashed Nissan Stanza. The battery was fully charged, but it wouldn't start because it was still in 'drive.' After almost burning the thing down with improperly attached jumper cables, we were ready for a test drive. It ran... kinda. It was firing on 3...sometimes 4 cylinders, and the oil was overfilled by about 2 quarts.

I had Subaru batteries last me only 2 years in upstate NY. I kept getting them for free under warranty. I probably got 4 this way. Finally, the dealer said your alternator is bad and that's why they are going bad (completely bogus). I started going to a local mechanics soon after that and they told me that super OEM batteries are complete garbage.

Problem I have with my 2016 is I go threw lot of batterys , first one lasted 3 years which told it comes with 3 year battery 2 one lasted 2 years ,The third one only one year..So brought to dealer. They checked connections and hooked up meter left hooked up for 2 days..It draws .07 amps when just sitting.

I have a 2019 Subaru outback. The battery dies every two months and I am left stranded.

The OEM battery sucks I upgraded mine to an AGM with an extra 100 or so CCA. A better battery will also let your auto start stop last longer. Stock battery would never last a stop light for while under load new battery gives me a lot more time even under load.

My battery keeps dying if I dont use my car for 1-2 days and Subaru is failing to address the issues.

Subaru has had a problem with their electrical systems since 2014. Batteries last 2 years, max. 2018 legacy is on its third battery in 4 years. 13,000 miles. $600.00 in batteries.
