Audi S5 Battery

Audi S5 Battery

Your Audi S5 battery will generally last between 3 to 5 years, but that can fluctuate heavily depending on battery size, type of battery, weather conditions and driving habits. Even still, just because your battery isn't absolutely dead, doesn't mean it's operating accurately. For that reason, it is immensely important to have your battery examined each time you visit a service center. Hopefully, you're a client of Audi North Atlanta and you will always receive a free multi-point inspection of your car during each service visit. Inspecting your battery and battery cables is part of this process. If you leave your battery unchecked, when it's not running at optimal levels your Audi S5 can put pressure on the alternator or the starter to improve power. Drawing uncontrolled power to compensate for the loss of energy from the battery can make your engine run outside of ideal conditions. In the end, this is going to cost you more money to fix. It's immensely important for your Audi battery to operate at near-perfect levels.

Replacing some types of batteries, especially in newer models, can be very tricky as hood space in vehicles continues to shrink to improve performance.

Oddly enough, some batteries can be located under the floorboard or in the trunk, yet, this is extremely rare.

1. Make sure your engine is totally off - refer to your vehicle manual to locate the battery.
2. Use a wrench to loosen the bolt slightly that holds the black negative battery cable.

5. Locate the clamp that holds the battery in place and remove it with a wrench or ratchet.
6. At this point, you should be able to easily remove the battery. Careful, it will be heavy.
7. It is recommended that you clean the battery tray and any corrosion on the cables using a wire brush and proper battery cleaning solution.
8. To install the new battery simply repeat the steps above.
