This weather has made me realise I need a new battery!

As long as I get one with round terminals it dosn't matter which one does it?

Yep, as long as it has 2 terminals.......

Haha. What made me ask was someone told me that on an older impreza he fitted a battery that was too powerful and fried the ecu!

Ive just been an brought one from Halfrauds which should be fine!

The only way a battery for a Subaru could be "too powerful" is if it was greater that 12volts. The electrics in the car are all designed to operate from a potential of 12volts. If you apply say 24volts to them, it may well damage/stress the components, yes.

Well if mine decided to pak up id def look into a Dry cell battery ..

Odyssey Dry Cell may be
