Car Battery Replacement

[averagejoe26]

Well I left my car sitting for 2.5 weeks and now the engine won't turn over. I put my battery to charge for a hour and it starts right up. Next morning, it won't turn over. I looked online and there is like 5-6 batteries with different amp hours. Anyone replaced their car battery before and know what to get?

There are a number of options.
On my B8 S4 I just went to Autozone for the battery.
Some Audi owners have gone with calling AAA or Audi dealer at a cost of around $200

This type from Autozone should be fine. $155, Duralast Gold Battery

Does the battery have to be programmed similar to BMW's ?

[Kczach]

The battery typically requires coding. The Ross-tech site has good instructions on how to do this.

With a new battery, use a VCDS to just change the last digit in the battery serial number, which will let the controller know, the battery has been changed.

As noted below, but only need to change the last digit of serial number. The number is not critical, it just needs to change.

"" 19-CAN Gateway using (UDS/ODX)
This procedure applies to battery replacement in vehicles using a battery management control module that is a slave/subsystem of the CAN Gateway.

Address 19: CAN Gateway
Battery Monitoring Control Module:

[Select]
[19 - CAN-Gateway]
[Long Adaptation-0A]

Battery adaptation - Size
Select the battery Ah rating from the drop-down menu followed by [Do It!] and confirm [Yes]
Battery adaptation - Manufacturer
Select the battery manufacturer from the drop-down menu followed by [Do It!] and confirm [Yes]
Battery adaptation - Serial number
Type the serial number code from the replacement battery followed by [Do It!] and confirm [Yes]

Providing the value was accepted by the controller the new battery coding is complete.
