Before you start its a good idea to plug your battery into a charger.
During the upgrade process you are warned no to switch anything on or off, and your battery may well give up before the upgrade completes.

Tell us about your new motor. And pictures, the more the better

A charger should hold the voltage enough though. If in doubt plug in VCDS and monitor the voltage on the engine module.

Run the engine during the process and turn off everything else.

Surely the reason the Audi dealership notes advise a battery charger is because they are in a workshop and the service manager would rather pay 50p for running the charger than £3 for using client's petrol?
