Battery OPTIMA or OEM Audi
My car previous to that ('98 Z/28), had an Optima Yellow top. The car sat in garaged for several months with a map light left on, and the battery was dead. It took about 15 minutes of jumping to get interior lights, and another 10-15 minutes to start. After this, I drove that car for another 4 years with the same battery without any other issues.
The OEM tundra batteries only last me 3.5 years at best. I always replace with an Optima battery.
I always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.
Can confirm, worked at a battery store for a few years throughout college. Audis for some reason always lasted much longer than any other car brand.
My S4 battery is going on 6 years and it pops off like a brand new battery in Minnesota weather.
When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.
I've never had a problem with one
Sounds about right for a dealership, just had my battery replaced at a euro shop and it was 448 total
Bought a new one and had to warranty it 6months later.
All since lifespan has been 2-3 years. I only sell them at customer request…
Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.
