Alternator OEM Audi or OEM Mazda
It’s your alternator not the battery, the coding of the battery is important, but will only extend the life battery will not cause it to be dead in three days
My 19 c8 3.0 had the same exact issue within 4 months of buying it last year. And the car died on me mid fwy in dtla. Take it in to ur nearby dealer theres an open recall on the alternator i believe.

Audi A6
Might be a coincidence, but those lights all came on about a month before the Electical System: Malfunction light came on in my 2021 S6. They replaced my battery and alternator.

Cons: suffers issues

It went out at 40,000 miles and was replaced without issue by the dealer which provided an A6 as a loaner for the week it took to replace the alternator. I still love the car and would not move to Mercedes
Pros: replaced without issue
Cons: went out at 40000 miles
Vehicle:
Audi S6

I took the alternator apart as well, but it's quite worn and a new one does not cost a fortune, so it's not worth it to refurb it.
Pros: new one affordable
Cons: quite worn

Audi 80
