Battery Connections and Terminals
Is your Subaru’s battery not getting a good connection at the terminals? Over time corrosion can become built up at the connectors causing a bad connection.

Battery Fluid Inspection
In some batteries, there are transparent windows to help monitor the battery fluid level. An inspection of the liquid level will quickly diagnose the problem of a leaking battery that may need to be replaced. While this might seem a scary idea of leaking battery fluid, it is, and it isn’t. At most points in a batteries life, this will happen, due to the amount of use and age. It is possible in some cases to refill battery fluid to extend the life of the battery.
Battery Replacements
Replacing your battery is recommended under some circumstances. Signs of battery deterioration can show itself in some ways. A bloated battery can be visually inspected and is easy to diagnose. A swollen battery can bloat at the bottom or sides of the cell. Battery swelling is typically caused by rapid heating of the battery and frequently happens in warmer climates. The second sign that your battery needs to be replaced is battery leaks. A battery leak will have a strong pungent rotten egg smell and is easily diagnosed. It is the corrosion that occurs on the terminals and on the battery itself. If there is a lot of corrosion present, replacing the battery is a good idea.
