Hey guys is it possible to get a battery size sticky of what sizes will fit on various years.
Our 2015 forester just had its second failure so i want to replace it. I can see from drain test that there is a combination of relatively low capability in the stock battery and an inherent drain (in fact drain varies). Looking at other threads this seems to be relatively high drain even if there is not an electrical fault. So coming up on fourth winter, with a fail last year, and a dead battery with 45 minutes of flashers on without car running, and a usage pattern on this vehicle that won't change, it is time for a new battery
For those of us who don't want to go AGM, but will go with traditional lead using Consumer reports well ranked lead acid batteries, like walmart "Maxx" , and largest size that will fit, it would be good to have a sticky for larger than size 35 stock.
Anyone try larger battery, ie same brand and type but just more cch that will fit/ eg 24 or 27 (and sub model of 24 and 27, ie 'F' 'H" 'T' "R' on a 2015?
I see there are scattered threads on battery issues with this vehicle, but a sticky on size would be good.
Thanks!
