Written Description:
Well, finally it was time to upgrade my battery to something better in my 2016 VA WRX STI, the original factory Panasonic battery finally started to give out and so I took advantage of some EOFY sales and picked up a bargain deal on a D35 Optima Yellow Top Battery from an Australian retailer called Super Cheap Auto.
I'm a huge fan of Optima AGM batteries, I know there are some horror stories out there but for me I've never had a problem with them and I've owned at least 4 in the past. With each of those I've never had to replace them since fitting. Awesome.
Overall, I personally find them a really good investment for peace of mind driving with your daily driver or even a 4x4.
The only problem after fitment is in my VA WRX STI, it seems the battery posts/rods/bolts (whatever you call them) are a little too large for the smaller size of the Optima battery, requiring you to over-tighten one side of the factory bolts to fit firm. So for the perfectionists out there, you may need to look at an aftermarket option or an alternative solution.
If you own a modern Subaru, At the end of this video I include a quick guide on how to reset your electric window if you disconnect the battery, as your driver door controls will stop working! The fix only takes 2 minutes so make sure to you watch that if you're a Subaru owner and don't know!
This was fitted to an Australia build Subaru VA WRX STI, there may be some differences in other countries.
Cheers!
