I started to have problems with my original VARTA (actually second as was replaced under Audi warranty along with battery manager ECU)
I replaced it with a Varta Silver 110Ah, but continued to have lots of battery problems. In Novembebr I was stuck in a car park with a flat battery and it was going to be locked in a couple of hours, so caught a taxi to EuroCarParts and bought a Lion 95Ah AGM £139 on offer.
I've not had a single problem since and the crank speed is much more powerful than ever before.
I can only deduce I must have got a dud VARTA silver and would never buy another battery online by post again as it's impossible to get a warranty claim administered without hosing a fortune on 25Kg of hazourdous material postage only to probably have it rejected and be aksed to pay return postage.
