It's a well-known problem with Subarus. There's a class action suit about it. My Subaru supposedly isn't from one of the affected model years, so it may well be a long shot hoping this is the DCM. But I guess I'll find out for sure if the problem with my particular Subaru is the DCM.
Another thing I've heard from a random Reddit post is that the alternator's firmware might not allow the battery to fully charge.
And, of course, anything else might pull current for no reason. Or the batter might be fucked. Who knows. I'll figure it out eventually.
