Audi 100 battery: what each engine takes, with prices

Frequently asked questions

Which battery does a Audi 100 take?

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 7 compatible batteries in total, from 60 to 77 Ah and 540 to 780 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E11 Dynamic SLI 12V 74Ah 680A, Car battery Varta E44 Dynamic SLI 12V 77Ah 780A, Start-Stop battery Varta A7 Dynamic AGM 12V 70Ah 760A AGM. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

How much does a Audi 100 battery cost?

Between 64.80 € and 122.95 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.

How do I know which generation my 100 is?

By the registration year: 100 C4 Saloon (1990-1996); 100 C4 Avant (1990-1994); 100 C3 Saloon (1990-1991); 100 C3 Avant (1990-1990). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.

Can I replace the battery of my Audi 100 myself?

On most versions, yes: disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive, release the clamp and fit the new battery in reverse order. On Start-Stop models or cars with battery management (BMS), register the new battery with a diagnostic tool so the ECU adjusts charging.

How do I know the battery in my Audi 100 is worn out?

Typical signs: sluggish cranking in the cold, headlights dimming on start-up, a battery warning on the dash or electronics resetting. A workshop can check resting voltage (below 12.4 V means discharged) and cranking capacity in a minute.
