Ask audi service consultant, what's so different about their battery.
Safer to check why got price differential.

I think the stock battery is Varta 80ah, around 350+ outside if not wrong.
Made in Germany and some battery models specifically catered for cars with a lot of electronic systems like start stop. Extra $40-50 for PA installation and peace of mind, worth it imo |

My Jaguar XF 2.2 got 2 batteries in the boot. Wearnes is charging the big battery 95ah at $500+. Heard from members from Jag Club can change outside for less than $350. For battery n brake pads can change outside as AD charge rip-off pricing.

Anything special about the battery other than the brand? Can it last longer or something? |

Maybe more reliable, last longer and bigger capacity to handle all the electronics in the car. Some folks with ICE use 95ah.
Drive conti shiok but maintenance also more “shiok” Go here for more info http://www.vagsg.com/forums/index.php |
