Description of the problem	At 35 months, the original battery in my outback suddenly died and would not start the car. I can jump start the vehicle. After jumping the vehicle and driving around for 30 minutes, things seemed ok & the car started 2 hours after being driven. The next morning however, it was totally dead. Subaru service told me i needed to drive it at highway speeds for at least 45 minutes. So, i jumped it again and drove the vehicle for 2 hours at highway speed. Shortly after i returned from this trip, i had the battery tested at an auto parts store. I was told battery and alternator were ok, but it still needed charging. The car did start about 6 hours after returning from this trip. However, the next morning the battery was totally dead. I'm currently trying to work through this with a subaru dealership, and have an appointment in 2 weeks. In the meantime, will try to keep the outback in service with a trickle charger, and jump starts as necessary.
