Audi Q2 (2016-2023) – batteries


The choice of the right battery for the Audi Q2 from 2016-2023 depends on several key factors, such as the type of engine, capacity, and starting current. Due to the use of Start-Stop technology, the Audi Q2 requires batteries with increased durability that can handle frequent start cycles. The most commonly used battery types in this model are AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) and EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery). It is important to note that the battery type should be the same as the one originally installed in the car.

For petrol engines like the 1.0 TFSI (85 kW), batteries with a capacity of around 60 Ah are recommended. Examples of compatible models include the Bosch S4 E05 or Exide EK600. However, it is worth remembering that manufacturers have used both AGM and EFB batteries, so it is best to check the currently installed model in the vehicle before purchasing.

For diesel engines, such as the 1.6 TDI (85 kW) and 2.0 TDI (140 kW), the requirements are slightly higher in terms of capacity (70-75 Ah) and starting current (650-760 A). In these cases, AGM or EFB batteries are also suitable. Examples of models include the Exide EK720, Varta E45, or Lucas LE096. AGM batteries have higher durability and handle greater electrical loads better, which is why they are often recommended for models with a larger number of electrical devices.

An interesting fact is that AGM batteries have the ability to discharge more deeply without the risk of damage, making them more resistant to the intense charging and discharging cycles typical of Start-Stop systems. On the other hand, EFB batteries are a cheaper alternative, offering solid performance in vehicles with the same technology, but with slightly lower durability compared to AGM.

In conclusion, the choice of a battery for the Audi Q2 from 2016-2023 should be tailored to the engine specifications and the Start-Stop system. The most important thing is to check whether the original battery is an AGM or EFB type, and choose a new one accordingly. It is always a good idea to verify the technical specifications before purchasing.
