Battery OEM Subaru or OEM KIA

Have a 2020 Touring XT. Battery went bad after 5 years so that was normal. No problems other normal wear and tear, tires and brakes.

We have a Kia Niro PHEV and love it. I get around 3000km per tank because for the most part I'm just not using gas.

with the auto start/stop eliminator installed after 1 year of ownership (using the auto start/stop feature the first 6 months and manually disabling it the last 6 months), my 2019’s battery lasted 5 years and 160k km before it started feeling weak and was replaced as a precaution.

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.

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

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

My Forester is 2021, already replaced the starter and the battery. The current battery starts to feel weak as well.

I will not trust having a Subaru battery in my Subaru cars, I only buy Walmart, Costco or Interstate.

First battery lasted about a year and a half.
