I put in an 850 cca 800 amp battery and the old one (Duracell or something I think) I replaced was a 900cca battery. Old one was h8. I replaced with an h7 because thats what fcp euro said was the right size for my car. That was the issue. Took it out and replaced with and H8 and it was still in limp mode! Got my code reader out and cleared the codes and restarted and everything works great now

Pros: everything works great now

Cons: limp mode

I've had good results from East Penn Duracell at Sam's Club. I just replaced one nearly 8 years old.

Pros: good results, lasted nearly 8 years

The best way to check is to go with a multimeter and get the highest voltage/closest manufactured date. Duracell might just be EverStart rebranded BUT NO the Walmart battery will last around 1-2 years, maybe less. If you want to make sure your covered with a good battery, that’s when you go to Advance Auto or AutoZone and get the battery with 3 years of warranty and swap it out right before the 3rd year ends and I find the batteries last me forever.

Pros: last forever with warranty swap

Cons: Walmart battery lasts 1-2 years

I’ve replaced several Duracell batteries recently that had been recently installed within the last few month. We’ve had good luck with power sonic, yusa, and first power.

Pros: good luck with Powersonic

Cons: Duracell fail quickly

Spouse has a 2021 etron, (some issues, inc battery recall), I had a 2022 etron with many issues which prompted my change to a 2025 SQ6. I’ve written to Audi Canada so many times regarding the etron issues with no resolution on any of them. I like the SQ6 but this will be my last Audi - worst experience I’ve ever had with any vehicle and manufacturer.

Cons: worst experience

Vehicle: Audi

It is a great car to drive.\n\nThe battery range is very, very poor. On a cold day the range may be in the 120 range. It is exp naive to maintain as most parts on it are coded which means Audi dealer only

Pros: great car to drive

Cons: battery range very poor

Vehicle: Audi
