Why is Subaru quoting me 485$? Is there something I’m missing.
Can I just plug in an AGM battery if the stock battery my car came with was lead-acid and have it charge at the correct higher voltage if I have a smart alternator? I read if the battery does not charge at the correct voltage, it can reduce the life significantly unless you trickle charge it weekly which I don’t want to do.
My car is a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited if that helps.
Should I reapply the anti-corrosion stuff after rubbing multimeter leads against an old anticorrosion layer which I think might have scraped a little off?
I installed the exact same battery in my '17 Legacy, 2 weeks ago.
Rick is the battery tray the same size on a 2017 Outback with the 3.6 engine? I currently have a 25 battery in it and next time it dies I would like to put a 24 size battery in it. Thanks!
Battery maintainers should be connected to chassis not negative because many modern vehicles have a Battery Control Module sensor between negative and chassis. Connect to chassis lets the BCM monitor see what you are doing.
My 2016 Outback battery tray was more than big enough for the Group 24 which was the exact same height and width as the OE (not same as OEM) Group 25 battery.
Vendors with Flooded Lead Acid batteries and AGM do not recommend AGM for 2016 Outback. Ford has a different charging algorithm for AGM, perhaps this is needed? Not available on 2016 Outback? Vendors who sell nothing but AGM happily suggest use of their battery anyway.
Subaru recently issued a recall to disable the 3G data radio which has been draining batteries since the 3G shutdown. Broadcasting high power attempts to connect to a network which no longer exists. Killed batteries for some every few days. Could pull,the DCM fuse in fuse box next to battery, but for some odd reason that disabled the microphone for hands free calling.
Most of the battery tender recommend the negative lead be attached to the vehicle's ground and not directly to the negative terminal. You might want to check if that is the case with your charger.
I wonder how well the deep cycle batteries work when it’s really cold out.
interesting battery deep cycle seems like a good idea once in a while somebody bumps a map reading light in car and kills battery overnight seems like it does not turn off automatically like regular door light. I get about 4 years out of the original group 25 batteries till they get weak might try a group 24 next time.
I tried the red and black felt disks under battery terminals a long time ago didn't seem to do anything. I usually clean terminals and put a tiny amount of copper based conductive grease for electrical wires made for connections of large wires into clamps. i wipe off extra and brush silicone grease over whole terminal and ends of wires never get any corrosion that way but it gets a bit of dust collecting on the grease. the stuff you are using looks a bit cleaner i guess it is nice and smooth after drying to not collect dirt? maybe ill try that sometime have you seen any corrosion from battery acid using that stuff?
Thank You for your detailed instructions on your 2016 Subaru Outback Limited. I need to do the same to my 2016 Subaru Outback Limited Limited 2.5L! Now I know that I do I do not need a Memory Saver!
This is the most detailed and correct battery replacement video I’ve ever seen. The worst one I ever saw was they left one of the plastic post covers on and could not figure out why it didn’t work. Thank you
Thanks for the video. I have a few videos on my channel discussing the battery problems many Subaru owners are experiencing and the class action lawsuit.
My 2018 Outback 3.6R's battery is fine.
I have had two Subarus where the factory battery lasted 10 years.
I plan on doing the same upgrade in time, but I am dissapointed that Batteries Plus doesn't honor their warranty.
The fact that their warranty was longer than Northstar for the same battery was what pushed ne to choose the B.P. X2 version.
I guess its easy to offer a longer warranty if you're not going to honor it.
That said, I would advise against using the blue Subaru OEM oil filters.
They are the cheap Fram filters with the cardboard end caps.
These endcaps can degrade and break apart.
All other manufacturers use metal end caps, there must be a reason.
This is obviously a cost cutting measure, and I choose not to accede to corporate greed, esoecially when my engine is at stake.
The JDM filters from Tokyo Roki are available on line, this is what I use and also put on my daughters Forester.
Also Purolator, Wix and NAPA all have excellent filters that are superior to the blue Fram garbage.
They have pre set savers that plug into the OBD port, your local mechanic should have one, save you the trouble if resetting your radio, power window and engine parameter settings.
I replaced the wimpy battery in my 2018 2.5L Outback with a Optima OPT8016-103 D34M BlueTop Starting and Deep Cycle Marine Battery with little modification. The Optima weighs about 10 lbs MORE at approximately the same physical size of the original! More lead guts inside! Two extra posts on the battery as well. They come in handy for me. I had these batteries in other vehicles and got 10 years plus out of them. Expensive, but they worked very well.
BTW, my OE Mitsubishi alternator, a IR/IF unit is no slouch, rated at 150 amps and with a excellent performance curve across the board.
can i cahnge only posetive cabels on my subaru outback 2007?
IDK you if you realized that for that specific battery, it said that your alternator has to be able to output 14.4 to 14.8V to be able to fully charge your while your car is running or it can reduce the life of the battery.
Does the outback charging system charge AGM battery correctly while driving a long trip? My 2016 outback killed 3 batteries already.
Don’t try to get Batteries Plus to honor the warranty on that battery. They told me that I abused it. All I did was install it in my 2019 Subaru Outback when it was new. Now it does not take and hold a charge. No more $350.00 batteries from Batteries Plus.
I'm on my third or fourth battery, second in the past 6 months with only 25,000 miles! Subaru refuses to admit that the 2017 Outbacks are battery killers!
Something is discharging the battery, but it's not the operator!! I had a 2003 Outback for 10 years and never changed a battery. I need a car to be reliable, not expensive, screw Subaru!!!
I have the 24F version by Northstar in my 2013 Accord V6 Sedan. 840CCA is a bit conservative; mine tested at 1163CCA at rest. The amount of power that this battery has to start the car, and run accessories is also incredible. I can turn my lights on before starting the car, and the crank speed and amperage is so high the lights do not dim.
Even with all my accessories running (CD player at about 40% volumefront defrost, rear defrost, heat maxed out, both front heated seats on, low-beams and high-beams on, etc.,), I can only drop to 14.25v. The only exception is when the fans by the radiator kick on, which causes a split second drop to 14.05v before the alternator manages to get everything back up to 14.25v. If I'm idling and I only have the climate control and headlights on, 14.38v.
In contrast, the standard 24F that came with this generation of Accord V6 was 550CCA. Very often, lights would dim and if it was below about 45 Degrees out, the car would start to have a slower crank. I get that Honda and many companies just want to "plop a battery in and call it good", but in colder climates, every bit of cranking power can be the difference between getting out, and being stuck.
Highy, highly recommend this battery… and don't get me started on the puny 51R that was in the 4-cylinder accords from 2003-2017… I have an 03 accord as well, and I was going through a 51R every 12 months just due to the cold beating them up.
