Dependable Subaru Batteries Available at Capitol Subaru in Salem, OR

April 15th, 2025

When your Subaru refuses to start or struggles in colder weather, it could be a sign that your battery is nearing the end of its life. At Capitol Subaru, we make it easy to keep your vehicle powered with genuine OEM batteries that are built to meet your vehicle's exact specifications. Unlike universal-fit or big-box alternatives, Subaru factory batteries are specifically engineered for your model, ensuring a seamless fit and optimal performance. Choosing an aftermarket battery might seem like a quick fix-but it's a risky one. These generic options often lack the durability and compatibility required to keep your Subaru performing at its best. Over time, that can mean unexpected breakdowns, shorter battery lifespan, and more frequent replacements. That's why we exclusively stock and install Subaru-approved batteries that align with the high standards of the brand. Whether you're driving an Impreza, Outback, Forester, or Ascent, our parts team at Capitol Subaru will help you find the perfect battery to keep you moving forward-no compromises, no guesswork.

Why Genuine OEM Batteries Are Worth the Investment

There's more to your car battery than meets the eye. This powerful component is responsible for delivering the initial surge of energy needed to start your engine and power onboard systems like headlights, locks, and infotainment-especially when your vehicle is off. But not all batteries are created equal. Genuine OEM batteries are rigorously tested and designed to match the electrical load and engine demands of your specific Subaru model. That means more consistent starts, better performance in extreme temperatures, and fewer mid-winter surprises. Batteries typically last three to five years, but factors like driving habits, mileage, and even where you live can shorten that lifespan. If your Subaru is slow to start, you're experiencing dim lights, or you've had to jump-start it more than once, it might be time for a replacement. At Capitol Subaru, our factory-trained technicians can quickly test your battery's condition and install a new OEM unit if needed. You'll leave knowing your Subaru is equipped to handle whatever lies ahead-commutes, road trips, or the unexpected.
