Subaru Forester battery replacement in Dallas–Fort Worth

Our fitment table lists group 35 for 2019–2022 Foresters and group 35 for 2009–2018 Foresters. For other model years (2023 or newer, and anything before 2009), the technician confirms the battery from your VIN before dispatch instead of guessing.

2019–2022 Foresters came with an enhanced flooded battery (EFB), a heavier-duty flooded design for auto start-stop. Replace it with EFB or AGM, never a basic flooded battery. We fit AGM, which handles start-stop at least as well. For 2009–2018 Foresters, a standard battery fits and AGM is an optional upgrade, worth it if the SUV sits for long stretches, makes a lot of short trips or runs accessories with the engine off. Whatever the table says, we replace AGM with AGM, and the technician checks it from your VIN.

Reference retail prices for the batteries listed for the Forester: Duralast Platinum AGM Group 35 at $259.99, TotalPro Group 35 at $129.99, Duralast Group 35 at $184.99 and Duralast Gold Group 35 at $219.99, each before a $22.00 refundable core charge. Mobile installation labor and Texas sales tax are added on your quote. The final price is confirmed before dispatch based on availability, taxes and fees, and you pay after installation.

Under the hood, in the engine bay, on both generations in our table.

That generation added auto start-stop, so Subaru moved to an enhanced flooded battery (EFB) built for frequent restarts while keeping the group 35 size. A standard flooded battery wears out quickly in that role, so we install an AGM.
