Hello James,

Thanks for being in touch, but wondered if you could clarify why you are enquiring about a (replacement?) battery for a 2019 - still under warranty - vehicle. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hello James, 

Thanks for coming back on this. 

What is the make of the original battery currently fitted to the car, and reputed to be crap? 

Also, is your vehicle suffering from any battery associated issues? 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Many thanks James, 

Now that’s a make which is a complete unknown to me - never too old to learn. 

I have always stuck with Varta/Bosch batteries ( Varta was the O.E. supplier to Audi), and I tend to go with their 5 year warranty grade - nothing less. 

I’m not sure what Audi would replace yours with if it becomes defective under warranty, but the above might help. 

If you find you can/have to supply a replacement then yourself, if it were mine,  I would source one of these from specialist on-line suppliers such as Battery Megastore, Tanya, Plymouth Batteries etc. who will deliver - at most competitive prices - to your door. Always worth looking at their listings on eBay, since strangely, they sell on eBay with free postage, but often not if bought direct! 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hello Phil,

Depends on marque, model and year. I believe that if the car is fitted with a battery condition monitor - and many are now - then it will need to be coded. I have read that some circuits such as windows might not ‘limit’ correctly if the new battery isn’t coded, but apparently there is some dodge around that, but...

Of course, if James’ battery is replaced under the Audi warranty, then the coding will be carried out if necessary. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
