What is the battery model of the Audi A3?

The battery model of the Audi A3 is EFB, which uses a Varta battery. The Audi A3 is a compact car under the Audi brand, with exterior dimensions of 4312mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1426mm in height, a wheelbase of 2629mm, a body structure of a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a trunk capacity ranging from 380 to 1220 liters. The Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110 kW, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It features MacPherson independent front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension.
Speaking of the Audi A3's battery, as a seasoned A3 driver with five years of experience, I have something to say. Most of these cars use AGM start-stop batteries, with specific models like H6 or H8, and a common capacity is 61Ah. My 2017 model came with an H6 AGM battery, which must be compatible with the start-stop system—regular batteries won't cut it and can easily damage the car. It's recommended to replace it every three to five years; otherwise, you might face dangerous starting issues. To check it yourself, open the hood and look for the label or refer to the owner's manual for the correct model—don't get it wrong. When replacing, it's best to visit a professional shop because voltage and parameter matching are required. Brands like Varta or Bosch tend to be more durable. To save money, you can buy parts online first, but don't skimp on quality to avoid system failures. Regularly monitor battery health and use a multimeter to check voltage, which can prevent roadside breakdowns.
