Just wondering if any of you guys have had to change your A4's battery yet?

Some replacement ideas I found from batteries plus to Sears diehard..

Is yours needing to be replaced already? The OEM battery in my Jetta lasted 6 years, and was still working fine when i replaced it. It just cranked a little slow, mainly in the cold.

My car is is almost 3 years old and my battery just died today, I'm so pissed.

Where did you get your replacement from?
(with the heat here in Miami don't expect it to last more than 3 yrs)

True, I'm stuck a the house for now. I wont get the battery until tomorrow but, I'm going to my dad's work at Prestige Audi to get my battery replaced.

Who makes lightweight batteries? Any tradeoff over a regular battery?
