- To r educe the danger of explosion, never
co nnect or disconn ect cha rger cables
wh ile the c harger is operating.
- Fast char ging a battery is dangerous and
shou ld on ly be attempted by a compe

off with a solution
of warm water and baking soda to neu
tralize the acid.
(Q) Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to
start the engine . This will seriously dam
age sensitive electronic components, such
as control units, relays, rad io, etc., as we ll
as the battery charger.
Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specif/·
cations and dimensions as the original equip
ment battery.
In tell igent energy management in your veh i
cle is respons ible for d istributing the e lectr i
cal energy throughout you r vehicle
~ page 186. The intell igen t energy m anage
men t system w ill keep the engine ba tte ry
charged better then vehicles w ithout this sys
tem . To make sure the additional e lectrica l en
ergy is available once again after you have
changed the battery, we recommend that you install batteries o f the same type and ma nu
facture only (the same as those installed at
the time your vehicle was delivered). Specifi
cations are listed on the battery hous ing. You r
author ized Audi dealer must code the battery
in the ene rgy managemen t system to enable
you to use the ene rgy management functions
correctly after replac ing the battery.
I f it is not poss ible to use a battery of this
type, the new bat tery m ust h ave the s ame ca
pac ity, voltage ( 12-volts), amperage, con
struction and plug sea ling. When installing the battery, make su
re the ig

off.
(D Note
Make sure the ventilat ion hose on the side
of the battery is connected, otherwise
fumes or battery acid can leak out .
@ For the sake of the environment
Because o f the p rob lem of p roper disposal
of a battery, we recommend your author
i zed Audi dealer change the battery fo r
you. Batteries contain sulfur ic acid and
l ead and must always be disposed of prop
erly in comp liance with all environmental
regula tions. Dispos ing of veh icle batter ies
i mprope rly is very dange rous to the envi
