Hello all, Is it normal for a vehicle battery to need replacing every year? My A5 is a March 2019 model. Clearly it came with a new battery. I bought the car from Audi in July 2020 and shortly after there was an alternator recall so it was replaced. Then in September 2020 my battery became "faulty" so I got it replaced. Granted I got a discount but this is battery #2. A few weeks ago I got a battery low warning after a long run. It has struggled to start since. Audi reckons it is under-use this time and want to charge me £481! This is battery #3. Granted I don't put a lot of miles on and most of my trips are under four miles a day but it is used regularly daily. No one can tell me how many miles I need to do and is it really acceptable to have to drive your car just to keep it drivable and functioning? The manual mentions bringing it into Audi to get charged monthly or get a trickle charger for home. None of these are practical. So going on this usage I might be back here soon for battery #4! They say I can call Audi UK to appeal which I will do. Anyone had similar experiences? Got any advise how to proceed here? I must say this is unexpected from a company like Audi and really has taken the sine off this car. Thanks, Russ.
