Frequently asked questions
- Audi 100 C4 Avant 2.3 E (133 hp, petrol, 1991-1994) takes a conventional 72 Ah, 680 A battery (278 × 175 × 175 mm), with the positive terminal on the right. Compatible batteries offer 72-74 Ah, 680-750 A (CCA), 12 V, case T6/LB3, conventional flooded technology. Browse the compatible battery list below.
- If your Audi 100 C4 Avant 2.3 E has start-stop, regenerative braking or many electrical accessories, you will need an AGM or EFB battery. Check your vehicle's technical specifications.
- You need the make, model and engine. If your car has Start-Stop (the engine switches off at traffic lights), it needs an EFB or an AGM battery, depending on what it came with: if it has an AGM, fit another AGM; if it has an EFB, another EFB or an AGM. On cars with battery management (BMW, Mercedes, VAG group…), moving from EFB to AGM requires coding the new battery. Without Start-Stop, a conventional battery is fine, or an EFB or AGM if you want a longer life.
- A conventional (lead-acid) battery is for cars without Start-Stop. An EFB is a reinforced conventional battery for basic Start-Stop. An AGM offers the highest performance and is fitted as standard on cars with advanced Start-Stop, regenerative braking or high electrical demand. Replacement rule: an AGM only with another AGM; an EFB with another EFB or an AGM; a conventional battery with any of the three. Never move down in technology.

- All our batteries come with the legal guarantee provided by consumer law against manufacturing defects. If a battery has a manufacturing defect, it will be replaced at no cost to the user.
- Under normal circumstances, batteries usually arrive within 1 to 2 days of ordering. However, there are some cases where delivery may take a little longer: peak seasons (Black Friday, Christmas, etc.), palletized shipments, occasional stock shortages, etc.
- In mainland Spain delivery takes 24-48 working hours if you order before 6:00 pm (Monday to Friday) and the battery is in stock; mainland Portugal takes 1 to 4 working days, the Balearic Islands 2 to 5 working days and other EU destinations 4 to 7 working days. Batteries are shipped fully charged and ready to install.
