Novice car owner here looking to do a simple battery replacement in my Audi A4. I’m requesting help with the following…
What type of battery should I get for my Audi A4? Attaching a picture of current battery to my post… I think I’ve read that there are AGM or liquid lead based batteries. What exact battery should I get here?
How can I “program” the electronics so that the new battery is recorded and linked to the battery management system?
Is it okay for there to be no charge for a few minutes while I replace the battery? I know I will lose my radio presets, etc., but any other concerns?
Just go to Auto Zone or any battery place and let them do this or even the dealer . The dealer will be the most expensive but will not leave you stranded in your driveway.
I know I could take it to the dealer or a battery place, but this seems like a good opportunity to learn a basic car repair skill and maybe save a few bucks… dealership wants to charge $360 plus tax, am hoping I can do it cheaper.
The equipment you would need ( factory level scanner ) would cost you far more than you would save. Changing a battery is no longer a “basic car repair skill”.
