years ago I had a 7 series BMW and the battery started the car fine one morning then I drove about 30 miles went into a meeting and when i came out got the same clicking noise and the AA came out and said that the battery had just totally discharged itself - so I agree, get the battery tested and probably needs replaced.

I mean its not like the car is unusable as its fine during normal use but if i wipe down the dash or something and leave the radio on whilst hoovering it can take 10 mins to show low battery or an hour depends.
bit weird and it feels like the battery doesnt have the power to crank the starter as its a big engine. Ive put my reg in ECP and got like 10 batteries to chose from. Do i need to be looking at the specs or will cheapest do? All come with a 3 year guarantee.

get the battery tested first to check it's a duff battery, most decent battery places will do this FOC
Can't comment on best battery for A8 other than Bosch S5 usually well rated, and usually get a 5 year warranty with Bosch, I think
