Anyone know where I can have a stock AGM battery delivered? If not, what battery would you recommend from advance auto parts and what are the VAG power management procedures? Thanks.

Group 49 is the battery size.

Just went with a duralast gold from autozone. 125 bucks. Fits perfect and even has a vent hole like the stock battery.

Racer, were you experiencing any problems or just decided it was time to replace it?

thx.

Weak start up after sitting overnight and I could not keep my radio on or doors open for more than 10 minutes without it draining the battery.

Did you have to reprogram the power management system to indictae 100% battery power?

r1racer

After I updated my MMI I lost the battery function. I figured since my car has drained completely before and I have remove the battery cables with no ill effects I would be okay just swapping out the battery with no problems. I didn't hook up any charger nor reprogram the settings and everything is okay.

Did you already install the battery? any issues - is it a plain switch and swap?
