Battery YUASA or OEM Subaru

Still going strong on OEM battery after 3yrs

I put the Yuasa in a few years ago and it’s never had an issue cranking since. HD OEM batteries are trash. Don’t replace it with another one.

I replaced mine at age of 5 and half year, just to be sure - I am leaving the car at airport for 5 days regularly and I did not want to have another trouble solving in my life.

Price was 54 Euro. I have used Yuasa 5000 battery.

Old battery was sitting in garage and has swollen within week and lost voltage.

I’m in the UAE, where summers hit around 50°C. This Forester is my first car with auto start-stop, and I’m impressed that the battery lasted a solid 4 years. With my driving habits (lots of short runs), my previous cars’ batteries would barely survive 1–1.5 years. This one lasted more than double that.

Still on vanilla battery. As part of my wife's start process is start car, press button to turn off auto off. Seems to be working.

OEM Subaru batteries and not the best. When it's time for replacement go with a 3rd party battery.

A new battery at 10k miles.

Battery died around 50k miles.

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

The OEM Subaru battery does not have a lot of reserve power.
