What battery does Subaru recommend?

Subaru’s Recommended Battery Type
Subaru recommends a standard automotive battery used by most common cars, which offers an average amount of power required for starting the engine anytime it is needed. This type of battery comes with lead plates containing dense paste electrolytes, providing enough power to start the car. It is suitable for powering electric equipment like trolling motors, cameras, radar detectors, and more. Additionally, it is important to note that most Japanese vehicles, including Subaru, are equipped with standard top post batteries, with the Subaru Outback being fitted with a standard post Group 25 battery from the factory.
Considerations for Selecting a Battery
When selecting a car battery for a Subaru, it is crucial to consider the specific size, cranking amp, and cold cranking amp ratings. These ratings are based on the number of amperes a battery can deliver while maintaining 1.2 volts per battery cell for 30 seconds. It is important to ensure that the replacement battery has the same dimensions and post arrangement as the original battery, as indicated by the BCI group number. It is advised not to replace a vehicle’s battery with one of a different type, size, or rating.
User Recommendations and Experiences
Several Subaru owners have shared their experiences and recommendations for replacing the factory battery with a better one. Some have reported that the original Subaru battery lasted for around 3.5 years, while others have experienced issues with the standard Subaru Outback battery being a little weak. Recommendations from users include opting for batteries with higher cold cranking amp ratings and considering brands known for their reliability and longevity.
In summary, Subaru recommends a standard automotive battery used by most common cars, and it is important to consider the specific size, cranking amp, and cold cranking amp ratings when selecting a replacement battery for a Subaru.
