What ah battery does your FL Octavia vRS have?

[diveslob]

very strange that we all have different batteries. And mines the smallest by all accounts at 60ah.

I'll think about replacing it next winter with something with a bit more power.

My 2011MY 1.8TSI is fitted with 60A battery. I would expect a CR diesel to have at least a 70A battery.

Our 2010 2.0TSI vRS has a 60Ah battery. The other week after leaving it unused for about a week the interior lights never came on and it made a 'bong, bong' sound when we opened it - presumably some sort of safeguard when the charge gets low?

Here's something else.... SWMBO Seat Altea 1.9PD has an OE 72 ah battery. How can it be right the Octy has a small one in comparision- can't be for sound technical reasons, so must be on cost ......the gits

at some point I'll be upgrading mine for the biggest battery possible that will fit in the stock location ready for an audio upgrade

Just so you know my TFSI has a 70Ah battery too.

+1.

I said the car has an "Up to 61AH" battery because it did until it was about 2.5 years old. After leaving it for a fortnight it was a bit slow to start, but it then got a run of 140 miles, so I expected that to sort it out. In the following days I heard strange "boing" sounds from the car which I now believe was it warning me the battery was low. A few days later it was completely flat. Even charging it for several hours wasn't enough let the starter motor turn the engine over, so I replaced the battery with a 70AH one. It's been fine since.

My Vrs petrol had a 70 (which failed at 4 years) replaced with a Bosch . 92ah on my R36

Do those with a 70amp battery have satnav fitted?

Not as standard, Columbus was a retrofit, but I might get the 70ah because of the 4x4 system.

[m0bov]

I retro fitted mine and I know the HD spins up and runs in the backgrond.

In my petrol yes...

You think this is why the Octavia gets a larger battery?

[a_waugh]

61aH in my vRS tdi cr. Never had any issues, but if I did I would be replacing with bigger battery.
