Wrong battery put in crosstreck

[Ren_chapman]

Hi!
Question: Could the starter have been damaged by the incorrect battery being put in?

Context:
I have a 2019 Subaru crosstreck and I had the battery replaced in January at jiffy lube store 1 and began having starter issues shortly there after. Went back to Juffy lube store 2 in March and they told me the wrong battery was put in my car. Store 1 had put a start stop battery in rather than a regular battery. Had to go back to store 1 to have them fix the issue per policy. They replaced the battery very begrudgingly. I got the car assessed by a Subaru dealership and dealership said it was fine, this can be hard to tell tho from what I understand.
Few weeks later my starter went out and I had to have it replaced at the dealership.

Could the starter have been damaged by the incorrect battery being put in?

Thank you in advance

Amps are pulled, not pushed. You could damage a battery that was too small, but unlikely the starter.

NOT LIKELY !
The More Battery Capacity , the More Amps , the FASTER the Start is completed , the LESS HEAT in the Windings: Starters are damaged by Low-Amps causing Protracted Starter Operation , not the reverse process . BTW , a Fast Spinning Starter actually runs COOLER than a Slow Starter ... again less long term Damage , wear-n-tear(s) !
Most likely the Starter was damaged by the first Low-Amp Battery, then finally gave out but only after you had a Better Battery installed ...

Not at all likely unless they somehow managed to find a higher voltage battery which is extremely unlikely and would have cost much much more than a standard 12V automotive battery.

For Reference , check out additional Info @ :

Again , when Voltage is Low (weak-battery) , the Starter will draw a LOT MORE CURRENT, and this causes excessive Heat (I-SQUARED-R) in the Starter Windings, etc. Said HEAT can and will damage a Starter, especially if the Operator repeatedly uses a Weak battery , until it no longer will Start a Vehicle ! The Extreme situation is what is called LOCKED-ROTOR Operation, and with a Locked-Rotor , a Strarter can draw 800-900-and -up-to-1000-AMPS ! That will fry most automotive Starters !

A FAST spinning Starter Rotor produces a significant BACK-EMF through the Magnetic Effects of Current Flow , and keeps the Starter current at relatively Low-Safe-Levels !
