2013 Subaru BRZ Battery: Specs & Service

Battery life varies with climate, driving patterns, and the vehicle’s charging system. Heat can accelerate internal battery wear, while cold weather makes a weak battery more noticeable during starting. A load test at Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can show how much usable capacity remains.

• Testing measures battery state of health.
• Charging-system output is checked.
• Terminals and the hold-down are inspected.

A battery may lose capacity gradually before it fails at startup. Slow cranking is often most noticeable on a cold morning, while dim lights or electronics resetting can point to low available voltage. A battery that is more than a few years old also deserves a professional test.

• Slow cranking during startup.
• Dimming lights or reset electronics.
• Battery warning light or advanced age.

The load test gives a more useful answer than judging battery age or appearance alone. The technician also tests charging-system output and inspects the terminals and hold-down. Schedule service online with Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley in Greeley, CO.

A battery problem can become a starting problem after the engine is switched off. The charging system may keep the vehicle running, but it does not restore a battery that has lost capacity. Testing the battery and charging output before driving farther can reduce the risk of being stranded.

• Slow cranking can precede a no-start.
• Cold mornings can expose weak capacity.
• Charging output should be tested with the battery.
