Genuine Subaru Batteries, for Supreme Confidence & Performance
When it's time to replace the battery in your Subaru, use a
genuine Subaru replacement
battery. They're manufactured to the exact
specifications required by your Subaru vehicle. Subaru
original-equipment batteries are covered by the Subaru New Car Limited
Warranty for three years/36,000 miles. Subaru replacement
batteries come with an
85-month limited
warranty when installed by an authorized Subaru dealer, and
a
30-month/unlimited-mileage free
replacement with free towing to the nearest
Subaru dealer if the vehicle is inoperable due to battery
defect.
All Subaru vehicles are equipped with maintenance-free batteries. The term "maintenance-free" can be deceptive. These batteries require some attention to maintain their cleanliness and efficiency.

The battery is the heart of the electrical system and the main cause of winter weather start-up woes.
Cold weather effects:
- Batteries lose about half their strength
- Increased demands on batteries
- Reduced engine-cranking power
- Thickened engine oil, which makes engine turnover difficult
- Cold fuel, which doesn't vaporize well
- Reduced battery recharging efficiency
It is extremely important to have your car's battery checked regularly by a Subaru-trained technician. Technicians look for:
- Loose or corroded connections that can dramatically diminish your car's starting power
- Loose (or crusty) connections that can shut off your car's electrical flow entirely (imitating a dead battery)
Winter driving frequently requires the use of lights, defrosters, and wipers for extended periods. This requires the charging system to work properly so it functions adequately. For this reason, your service technician should check your battery's charging system and voltage regulator and inspect your alternator to ensure components are operating properly.
