Default Optima Battery Anyone?

I did a search for Optima in this forum but didn't get a single hit. If I have to replace my own battery, does anyone know if I can use an Optima? Optima batteries are generally the best on the market and I have had very good luck with them in other cars. Perhaps this is not the case on an A6 however...

Default I'm on my 3rd, it'll be my last.

I have had 3 in 3 years on my other car (not my A6)

Admitted, the problem batteries have been replaced under warranty, but I'll give tnem a miss next time around.

Best of luck,
John

Default IMO Interstate Batteries are great

Long lasting and have a great warranty.

Nearly a couple of years later I thought I'd bump. I've put optimas in my other cars and really liked them, but with the whole power monitoring system and all, I wondered whether such a battery would work. Anyone have one in a C6?

Try searching for Optoma. I have one and love it. There's a deal in my post about it, too... Best price I've found anywhere, better than eBay.

Why would a Optima battery not work with the Audi power monitoring system?
