Do I need Programming with an Audi Battery Replacement in Suffolk County?

Yes, most Audis in Suffolk County require battery programming when a new battery is installed. In older vehicles, a battery replacement was as simple as dropping a new unit in. Modern Audis have complex electronic systems. Programming the battery ensures proper charging and will maximize the lifetime of the battery.


You can visit Dee Pat’s Awsomotive for your next Audi battery replacement. Our Selden Audi auto shop is centrally located for your repair and maintenance needs.

What is Battery Programming?


Battery programming tells the car’s battery management system (BMS) that a fresh battery has been installed.  The system will adjust its charging protocols to ensure that the new battery isn’t overcharged, overheated, and damaged before the end of its estimated life cycle.


AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries used in Audi cars and SUVs last an average of 3 to 7 years when they are properly installed and programmed.

What Happens if Your New Battery Isn’t Programmed?



If you get a new battery without programming, it will run with the old charging parameters.  This can severely degrade the battery and lead to an early failure and costly replacement.


The battery management system will remember the old unit’s high internal resistance and send an excessive charging current to it.

You might also experience:

  • Electrical errors, infotainment glitches, and fault codes.
  • Intermittent electronics.
  • Difficulty starting your vehicle, especially in cold weather.
