What kind of battery does a 2013 Subaru Outback have?
Please try again later. In this video I show how I replace the Battery on a 2013 Subaru Outback with the 2.5l engine.

Can you replace the battery in a Subaru Outback?
I bought my Outback last week and on Monday I replaced the battery with an Optima Red Top 25. Did the replacement at Autozone. As bad as the battery is for the 6 cylinder, it is even worse for the 4 cylinder (just 365 CCA). As for why, the stock battery – despite being new – barely started the car when the headlights were in “auto.”
