Battery OEM Subaru or OEM Volvo

My 2017 original battery stayed alive for 8 years and 148k miles fascinated me how long it lasted and the fact that the auxiliary battery is still fine

The factory battery in my 2007 S60R lasted just under 10 years, and I thought that was remarkable. Much more expensive than an auto store battery though but you get what you pay for I guess

I just replaced my 2012 Volvo XC 60 battery. The car has 155k miles and the battery lasted for over 13 yrs. I drive in cold weather for over 6months/yr.

Still going strong on OEM battery after 3yrs

My 3 years old XC60 battery has been diagnosed as bad 55% last 2 weeks ago, I said to them keep it as I feel they are still good and road worthy. Gonna do a snapshot again at another 6 months to evaluate.

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.

The only issue I had with any of them were the shitty batteries in the first two.

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

Paid charging is problematic mainly because the T8 charges so slow. You'd have to leave your car at a charger for like 5.5 hours to fill the battery.
