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.
