Default Battery Life - 2002 Audi A4 - When will it die?
Anybody had to replace their "stock" battery yet? I have a 2002 Audi A4.

Cheap to get anyway, I just don't want to be stranded.

Default My 1998 A4 still had the original battery after 7 1/2 years...
...and this is driving all year round in a northern climate with harsh winters. I did notice that last winter on really cold nights it took a couple of extra cranks to get it started. But, it never failed to start.

So, your original battery should last for a while yet...unless you do something really silly...

Any of you had problems after you change batteries (ie. radio, security, ecu)?

Now you've gone and done it - you know that it's going to fail soon now since you said it's OK
