Battery.

Hi,
I am thinking of replacing my battery, I've seen the Ross Tech battery coding video, it's a good video but, it doesn't say wether you just disconnect the battery, or
you have to connect a charger to the battery wires before you disconnect, Audi A6 C6 3.2fsi, can someone tell me, thanks.

Battery replacement procedure is defined with safety considerations and labor operations in the RTFB at ERWIN.

You don't have to connect a maintainer, it just makes life a bit easier because you won't have to reset the clock and a few other things.

On that car, I think I would connect it to the jumper lugs under the hood as opposed to the cables at the battery in the trunk. Also, make sure it doesn't produce excessively high voltages under low-load conditions before you do that.

Thanks both, Uwe where would I find the jumper lugs under the hood, thanks.

Under the engine hood on the drivers side near the bulkhead + has a red plastic cover.

Thanks vodonnell.
