Hi
This is my first post, other than to introduce myself. I have a query about which type of battery should be fitted and what make to my A8 3.0 Tdi quattro. It is a 2005 model and has a 110 amp wet battery fitted currently. See what I did there?

I have numerous niggly electrical faults which may or may not be antagonised by the fitting of an incorrectly specified battery. My simple question therefore is was the car originally supplied with an AGM battery and has anyone any experience having fitted one if not.

I have owned various Mercedes-Benz in the past and one model in particular was beset with issues simply because a previous owner had compromised on battery specification thinking they were saving money. A case of out of sight, out of mind, rather like trundling around in an A8 on tyres from Poundland and wondering why it isn’t a great experience.

I am hoping that someone will confirm what I suspect and advise a change to AGM. Then I can start to resolve the other things on my to list. I will be asking advice again therefore, if that is okay.

Thanks
