What to know about the R8 battery
Nearly every R8 battery we replace failed for the same reason: the car stood for a month. It is a garage car, and its electronics keep drawing while it waits. We fit the correct vented AGM, register it, and strongly suggest keeping the car on a maintenance charger between drives.
Audi R8 battery questions
Short answers. Anything else — WhatsApp us.
Can a mobile service replace an R8 battery properly?
Yes. It needs care with the front trim, a memory keeper and coding, all of which we carry. Allow about 45 minutes.
How do I open the front compartment of an R8 with a dead battery?
There is an emergency procedure using the mechanical key and jump terminals. Our technician will get the car powered without forcing anything.
Which battery does my Audi need, AGM or EFB?
If your Audi has start-stop, it needs AGM or EFB, and most larger models need AGM. We check by model, year and the label on the old battery, then fit the same technology or better.
Where is the battery in my Audi?
It depends on the model. A3, Q2 and Q3 carry it in the engine bay. A4, A5, A6, A7, A8 and Q5 usually have it under the boot floor. The first Q7 has it under a front seat. Our technician will know before arriving.
