Battery OEM Subaru or OEM Mercedes

Replaced original battery at 93,000 miles. I live in Detroit. Cold winters. I guess I got lucky.

My stock OEM battery that came with my 2018 Outback lasted longer than I thought it would.

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.

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

Battery died last month at 39,000 miles.

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

I bought a brand new '24 Outback Wilderness in August of 2023 and had to replace the battery within 18 months.

I’m on my third battery in my 2018

My battery died on my ‘15 Outback within a year of my buying the car brand new off the lot. I noticed some issues with the lift gate and the car was having problems starting at times. It was a bad cell in the battery so it needed to be replaced.
