I bought an AGM battery from Amazon, £125 (now gone up to £143), the dealer quoted me £247 for a replacement EFB battery. Fitted and coded it myself, but I have got VCDS that I bought some while ago/
You got a link mate? Thanks

I think this is the same AGM battery but made by Varta, I've had a good fast service from the batterymegastore (free next day delivery).

Bosch and Varta batteries are made in the same factory in Germany which is the biggest in Europe.


Edit - sorry biggest AGM factory in the world!

So what do I have to do to code the battery above, I do have OBDeleven but haven’t got a clue to code a battery. Thanks

You need to code it in the gateway.
Essentially three adaptation channels, battery type (wet, efb, agm), capacity (Ah), serial number and if your manufacturer exists as a choice then that too. Not that the manufacturer matters much I think.

Stick to the CAN/UDS guide on here:

You don't need to use the actual serial number, this just needs to be changed, e.g. by adding 1 to the existing one.
