Recently brought a 2021 Outback 2.5L in the UK,

Last week its becoming a bit sluggish on the start, I took a look at the battery and its labeled:

12v 62ah 510a 

027smf 

Manufactor is battery charged?

On a google/gpt I've found that SMF is not right for stop start to start with so I wonder if this battery is completely wrong, so unsure what to now get. A lot of the finder sites list batteries that don't work with stop start,

Best one I've found so far is : Exide EFB Stop/Start 005 EL604 60AH 520CCA

ended up buying https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/bosch-efb-stop-start-005-65ah-650cca-car-battery-3-year-guarantee-444779287 due to reading needing high CCA
