Battery OEM Subaru or OEM Audi

I have a 2023 touring with the same problem. Dead battery multiple times within the first few months. The dealership put in a new larger battery (900 cca) Subaru brand, had to take out the factory battery tray to make room for it. No problems as of yet.

Subaru OEM batteries can be pretty shit in cold weather. Even the service department at my dealership admits this. I eventually fed up with my Subaru batteries chugging in cold weather and replaced them with Interstate AGM batteries (with more CCA). I haven’t had any troubles since.

Subaru are known for using cheap batteries, winter just makes it even worse. within the first 2 weeks of buying a 2022 Outback, i junked the battery and put in a great aftermarket one.

Sounds about right for a dealership, just had my battery replaced at a euro shop and it was 448 total

I'm still running on the original battery, which does surprisingly well until subzero temps set in, and then the poor thing just cries a lot and breaks my heart, so I jump it with my Noco and things are fine.

Replacing my battery recently

A new battery at 10k miles.

Battery died around 50k miles.

My 2020 Outback OEM battery only lasted 3-ish years.
