Rating 4.0

I had to replace the battery on a 2016 Crosstrek this summer and, in retrospect, missed a bunch of warning signs before it finally wouldn’t start: slow cranking, occasional extra crank needed, flickering dash lights, and generally dim interior lights.

Pros: fixed starting issue
Cons: slow cranking, dim lights
Vehicle: Subaru

I have a 2020 GLB250 and mine was saying "12V battery" on and off for a few weeks. I checked under the hood with a multimeter and my main battery did have a low voltage while the car was off. I replaced it a few weeks back. No more notification.

Pros: no more notification
Cons: low voltage, on and off

I had the same issue on my w213 - same warning every now and then until one day it just didn’t start. Replaced the battery and solved the issue.

Pros: solved the issue
Cons: warning every now and then

In the 166 body MB ML/GL, its under the passenger seat, with barely enough room to reach the rear terminal. It's also so far forward that you can barely grab the fuckin thing. Oh, did I mention that it is a group 49 battery.

Cons: hard to reach

I bought my wrx brand new in 2015, the battery lasted two years and was replaced at the dealership. That second battery lasted two years and I went back for them to replace it and said that they wouldn\u2019t because it was already replaced under warranty. She told me they would replace it for something like $160, I said \n\n\u201cLook lady the first battery lasted two years and the second lasted two years, I\u2019m not spending my money on your junk batteries.\u201d

Cons: lasted only two years
Vehicle: Subaru

21 Outback. Battery issues - I’m on my fourth battery since buying it. Have had issues with door seals leaking, but those were fixed easily under warranty. Definitely can confirm the assembly quality - we had to test drive quite a few before getting one that didn’t rattle on every bump we hit.

Pros: practical car
Cons: battery issues, assembly quality
