Hi Cragonmore Thanks for your reply. TBH this smells of bad engineering to me. I recently checked out a Toyota Corolla TS, also a hybrid. That ones makes do with a single starter battery under the bonnet, as you'd expect. I thought Subaru was using the Toyota hybrid system, so found this a bit odd. I've also noticed the various threads about battery drain issues, and it has totally put me off. Subaru, if you are reading, this battery drain nonsense coupled with your total silence on the matter has just cost you a sale.

Hello all I'm a new joiner here. Just joined as I am looking to purchase a Subaru Forester. I went to see one today, one of them new fangled 2.0 e-boxer thangs, and when I popped the bonnet, I spotted that there are two lead acid batteries in there. Curious that I am, I have been looking around to figure out why there are two, and if they are in two independent circuits, or if they are wired in parallel, or what it is. But I cannot find this info. Does anyone know or have a link to some information I can gobble up? Thanks!
