How to Save Hundreds on a New Battery and Adaptation on Your Audi 

People crying about this are acting like they dont have 5 minutes for an adaptation but can browse ubereats for 10 on their couch ☠️😂 Good stuff mate

Great job, all the info need without the unneeded talk. I'll be doing that to my 2015 A5 today.

Mine didn’t give me the type of battery option. I got an agm. Not what was in it. Hopefully this isn’t a problem down the road. Thanks for the video. Very helpful

Interesting - it never would have occurred to me that this needs to be done now, but it makes perfect sense. I assume I’ll need to do this for wife’s new Jetta…

Yep it's a special Battery for Stop Start and it need to be programmed on. My A4 TDI is now 10 years old and needed a battery earlier this year. It wasn't dead it was flagged up as low during it's annual service so I booked it in to have it done along with a couple of tensioners for the multibelt. Battery was £450 fitted the 2 tensioners were £180 +3 hours labour and they found another problem with a cracked rear spring so £1200 later I got my car back. It's due a cambelt this year when it's serviced so not really looking forward to that. It's times like this I regret selling my 2003 93 Aero

400 bucks gets you a Saab

I'm wondering if the OBD11 will work similar for an IS5. I'm going to try it out later today. Dealership did routine maintenance at a service interval and recommended a batter replacement for $588 after tax. I already have the OBD11 so...

People suggest on forums that AGM batteries should actually be coded as "fleece".

Just wanted to say thanks 🙌 followed this video to replace the battery on my 2018 A3.

Umm... shouldn't the battery type have been "fleece"?

If you jump the old and new so that the car never loses voltage (using the correct replacement of course) do you still need to adapt?

Did you buy the basic version or OBD11 or did you buy the subscription too

Did you put serial no from old battery in to obd 11 and changed the last number? I have a Audi A1 and want to change my battery

Do you have to do this with a 2013 vw tiguan?

Bro thanks a lot for making this video.

If I’m replacing OEM battery with OEM battery do I still need to do battery adaptation?

In order to do the new Battery Adaption, does the standard OBD eleven come with Adaptation function ? If i buy the basic OBD11, can I still buy the credit via the app? After purchased the credit, how long the specific function will last? Thanks

Hi..bos Is that OBD11 can use for A6C6 2.4 4F year 2005.

Interesting video ! Me and co workers always discuss this issue - some shops call it flash or syncing . My wife drives bmws and my daily is a mini - her last one wasn’t bad $350 w a battery and my mini doesn’t need it ?? Never had a clue this part existed ! Is there diff ones for each manufacturer?

Good info to know!

Hey, organizer for SOC24 are you going to cover it? I can tell little but its likely going to be in the lowe4 Washington, upper portland area!

Good job thanks !

do you know if this will work on a4 2010? thank you so much!

Lol do all this work on a 2007 Audi A4 b7 ??

Hi, i want to ask if the OBD11 will work with Q5 battery adaptation too?

Serious question, how long does an OEM battery last (2022 Audi Q5)? Thanks.

Great Video. Okay maybe it's cognitive dissonance. After watching a bunch of battery adaptation videos and OBD 11 programming I have to ask. For as "smart" as the alternators has become to sense state of charge, because of all the modules drawing battery juice, plus stop/start, why can't it just do what alternators did before and run a more are less constant voltage? Even if you don't adapt it is going to be charging the battery, not sure why even if it's the older battery and learned what shape its in why it would eventually learn the shape of the new one and maintain charge accordingly? I'm lacking some understanding there... Normal Alts are putting out 13-14 to keep the systems running and the battery charged. Are these charging higher and why unless the battery voltage dropped to the point of "needing" more? In fact most older cars even into the 2000's would run with a dead battery and a jump start b/c the alt would keep the systems working??? As for Battery longevity??? I'm averaging 10+ years...no joke, on my last two BMW's e34 and e39. old and older tech for sure. Even though the e39 relies on a strong battery to keep the systems alive. A low battery will throw all sort of odd things like the "Alarm falsing" the "trifecta of lights" as well as others. I have yet to read that if you don't adapt these newer cars (VW/Audi/Porsche), you would get anything like that. When the batts start to fail there is just a low batt warning??? Now watching these videos, I wonder since the Batt was disconnected and caused all those faults, if those, wouldn't start to present themselves with a dying battery?? My Daughters got an '18 Tiguan and I've a '21 will be buying the OBD11 tool anyway and will do the adapt since it seems to be the thing to do. I just wonder if when this technology started if anyone has truly ignored the adapted and with a quality battery has had issues with longevity??? Not sure when the tech started, but if it was less than 10 years ago as I have been reading that it wasn't common on many cars until start stop to begin. Most car with an average batt life of 6 years? most guys would just now be going through there second batt. If they didn't get the same life out of their second, they might be on their third? Not seeing forum posts claiming that; but it could be my AI/algorithm not picking them up. Also why would the manufacturer's name and the serial number play any role in the charging of the batt. doesn't seem to since just putting UNK and the date seems to work??? Biggest thing I could imagine is the how it charges different batt technology... If OEM is not AGM and you replace it with an AGM then maybe there is something there, except, most older cars don't have this tech and guys are tossing in AGMs all the time and not saying they aren't getting life b/c of the dumb charging systems????

NG Saab owners know the short battery life all too well.. XD

OBD II or 11?😁
