Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 5 compatible batteries in total, from 70 to 110 Ah and 760 to 950 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Start-Stop battery Varta A7 12V 70Ah 760A AGM, Start-Stop battery Varta A6 12V 80Ah 800A AGM, Car battery Varta I1 12V 110Ah 920A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 123.70 € and 189.30 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (AGM, lead-acid). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: R8 Spyder II (2016-2025); R8 II (2015-2025); R8 Spyder I (2010-2016); R8 I (2007-2016). 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.
Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More capacity (Ah) and more cold cranking (A) do not harm the vehicle: the alternator charges it the same and you gain margin in winter. What you must never do is go below the original figures.
Between 4 and 6 years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last slightly less in city driving because of the number of starts, but they are designed for that cycling. If the car sits unused for weeks or you notice slow cranking in the cold, get it checked.

How to know which battery your Audi R8 takes

The quickest and safest route is to enter your number plate: we identify the exact version, its engine and the battery fitted at the factory, with no room for error.

Another route is the vehicle paperwork: the registration date places you in one of the generations listed. In the overlap years, body style is the detail that separates them.

As a final check, look at the battery currently fitted: the label shows capacity (Ah) and cold cranking amps (A). Always replace with equal or higher figures, never lower, and keep the same dimensions and terminal layout.

Start-Stop: which battery your R8 needs

Start-Stop on the modern R8 changes the rules: the battery takes hundreds of micro-cycles daily. The correct answer is EFB for basic systems and AGM where braking energy is recovered. Dropping to a conventional battery is the most expensive mistake you can make here.
