Learn how to install a new battery in an Audi Rs5. We’ll show you how to replace/change/remove with simple tips and tricks to help get you started!
Tool List: 13mm wrench, 10mm wrench, flathead screwdriver
This 2014 AUDI Rs5 has it’s 12 volt battery in the trunk. Although this video may provide you with the basic procedures, we recommend that you check with the vehicle manufacture’s step by step procedures found in service/repair manuals for the vehicle you are working on.
Even if your vehicle did not come with an AGM battery, you can upgrade to an AGM battery for up to 2x the life. AGM can be found at most retail outlets. You can learn more about AGM here: https://www.autobatteries.com/en-us/battery-technology-types/absorbent-glass-mat-agm-battery
The use of a memory saving procedure will keep the memory alive on the vehicle’s computer during the battery replacement procedure. Referring to our Memory Saving video will provide you with various memory saving procedures that can be used according to vehicle manufacturer’s requirements. https://youtu.be/vSP3ShcaFgQ
Some late model vehicles must have the 12 volt battery registered with the vehicle’s Battery Control Module or Computer after replacement. See these videos on Battery registration and coding for more details on the procedures at https://youtu.be/TGKohKZHzr0 & https://youtu.be/cxOK_DczRGg
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when working with or near batteries.

Do have a video on how to replace a battery in a 2009 A5 3.2 Quattro
Same for S5. Helpful.
Reasons why I stick to bmw.
This is NOT how you should replace your battery in an RS5. Doing so will render your new battery ruined in a matter of weeks. The car will need to be coded with the new battery simply so that the ECU and ECM can ensure that the output of the alternator is relevant to the battery's condition. The older the battery is (particularly AGM), the more output to it, it will need from the alternator. Keeping the computers memory from resetting will ensure that when you have replaced your dead/old battery with a new one that the output will be relevant to the old battery and not the new one. In short 'coding' the car after a battery replacement ensures that the system 'resets' – knowing that it has a new battery. It then monitors and measures the battery from new.
Does this Audi and other B8 Audis require an OEM battery or can an aftermarket brand battery work?
Great video! Very easy to follow. Just wish Audi didn't make it so complicated to change the battery
Do I still have to code the battery? I used a backup battery to keep my computer information alive
I didn't uses back up battery now I don't have any power to start the car and only the park brake light is on the dashboard what can I do to fix it?
when i hook up the jumper to the front, should i crank the car or just leave it as is?
