Battery OEM Subaru or Duralast

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

Duralast AGM. No leaking, minimal to no corrosion, god life, decent power, and most importantly it was readily available.

Still going strong on OEM battery after 3yrs

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.

My 2018 has had zero problems except for a recall for battery.

My OEM battery died in 17 months. Their replacement OEM battery died in three months.

Battery died last month at 39,000 miles.

Our ‘17 Outback went through 4 batteries in the 7 years we owned it.
