.... the
battery, we recommend that the replacement
battery used is of the same make and type as the
original-equipment battery. After changing the
battery, the power management system must be
initialised by a qualified workshop to ensure that
the replacement battery is charged to an opti
mum level.
A replacement battery must have the same ca
pacity, voltage (12 V) and current rating. It must
also have the same dimensions as the original,
factory-fitted battery and have sealed caps. The
battery must comply with the standards
TL 825 06 (dated April 2008 or later) and
VW 7 50 73 (April 2010 or later).
Since the battery is difficult to access, we recom
mend having it replaced by an Audi dealer or
qualified workshop.
CD CAUTION
- Your vehicle is equipped with a special deep
cycle battery (e.g. AGM type). The on-board
electronic systems may develop problems if
you fit a different type of battery. For this
reason, if you need to replace the vehicle
battery, make sure that the specifications of
the new battery match the original exactly.
- Make sure that the vent hose is always at
tached to the original opening on the side of
the battery. Gases or battery acid can other
wise escape and possibly cause damage.
- The battery holder and clamps must always
be correctly secured.
- Before starting any work on the battery, al
ways observe the warnings listed under
¢ page 227, Important safety warnings for
handling a car battery.
