All battery brands

Car battery brands we fit to Audi

For an Audi with start-stop, choose an AGM or EFB battery from a brand with a real AGM range, such as Varta, Bosch or Exide. For older Audis without start-stop, a quality maintenance-free battery from a wider list of brands does the job. Whatever you choose is fitted and coded at your location.

Which battery does your Audi need?

Got start-stop? You need AGM or EFB. A normal battery in there dies fast.

How fast can you replace an Audi battery in Dubai?

The nearest van usually reaches you in 20 to 35 minutes in Dubai, a little longer in outer Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Fitting and coding take 25 to 45 minutes depending on where the battery sits in your model.

Does an Audi need battery coding after replacement?

Most Audis built from around 2008 do. The car's energy management has to be told a new battery is fitted, with its capacity and type. We do this on site with a diagnostic tool as part of the fitting.

Which battery does my Audi need, AGM or EFB?

If your Audi has start-stop, it needs AGM or EFB, and most larger models need AGM. We check by model, year and the label on the old battery, then fit the same technology or better.

Where is the battery in my Audi?

It depends on the model. A3, Q2 and Q3 carry it in the engine bay. A4, A5, A6, A7, A8 and Q5 usually have it under the boot floor. The first Q7 has it under a front seat. Our technician will know before arriving.

Can you come to a basement or tower car park?

Yes. Most of our Dubai jobs are in basements and podium car parks. The technician carries the battery and tools in by hand if the van cannot enter. Tell security a service visit is coming.

Do you cover Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?

Yes. We cover Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi city, including Khalifa City, Yas Island, Reem Island and Mussafah. Arrival times outside central areas are confirmed when you message.

What warranty do I get?

Up to 24 months, depending on the battery brand and type you choose. The warranty is recorded against your car and sent to you on WhatsApp, and a claim is handled at your location.

How can I pay?

Card or cash once the job is done, or split the cost into four payments with Tabby or Tamara. There is no charge for delivery, fitting or coding when you buy the battery from us.

What if the battery is not the problem?

Then we do not sell you one. The test covers the battery, alternator and starter draw. If the fault is elsewhere, we tell you what we found and can arrange recovery to a workshop.

Do electric Audis like the e-tron need a 12V battery?

Yes. Every e-tron and plug-in hybrid has a 12V battery that powers the locks, screens and control units. When it fails the car will not switch on even with a full high-voltage battery. We replace those too.
