# Audi A3 battery in Málaga > Change your Audi A3 battery in Málaga, no appointment: EFB/AGM, ECU registration included, Official Varta Distributor since 1999. Free test, 15 min. Home › Car batteries › Batteries by brand › Audi › A3 The Audi A3 battery is 12 V and is around 60-80 Ah and 600-800 A depending on the engine : the A3 8Y (2020-) uses EFB or AGM because every version has Start-Stop —EFB on the entry 30 TFSI and AGM on the TDI engines, the 48 V mild-hybrids and the higher trims—. On the 40 TFSIe (plug-in hybrid) the 12 V one is an auxiliary battery and does not start the engine. As a VAG Group car with a sensor on the negative terminal, the new battery has to be registered in the ECU . At Málaga Baterías (C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga), Official Varta Distributor since 1999 , we test it free and change it with no appointment, in about 15 minutes . Guide prices with fitting included: 85-140 € conventional, 130-230 € EFB and 180-280 € AGM. Audi A3 won't start? Today and with no appointment Send us your plate on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the exact battery for your Audi A3 and the price in minutes. Call now WhatsApp The Audi A3 is one of the most common premium compacts on Málaga roads, and its battery works harder than it looks: Start-Stop on every version, Virtual Cockpit, driver aids and short city trips that never fully recharge it. On top of that, as a VAG Group car it has a battery sensor on the negative terminal, so fitting the battery and closing the bonnet is not enough: it has to be registered in the ECU . We do it on the spot, with no appointment and registration included, at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga . Everything in the shop : we do not fit batteries at your home. Which battery does the Audi A3 take? By generation and engine Guide values, all 12 V : Version Guide Ah Cranking (A) Technology Start-Stop 30 TFSI (1.0 TSI petrol, with Start-Stop) 60-70 Ah 600-680 A EFB Yes 35 TFSI (1.5 TSI, 48 V mild-hybrid on some) 70 Ah 680-760 A EFB or AGM Yes 30 / 35 TDI (2.0 TDI diesel) 70-80 Ah 720-800 A AGM (or EFB) Yes 40 TFSIe (plug-in hybrid, 12 V auxiliary) 70 Ah — AGM / EFB Yes S3 and high-spec trims 80 Ah 760-800 A AGM Yes A3 8V (2012-2020, previous generation) 60-70 Ah 600-720 A EFB or conventional Depends on version Guide values: they change with the year, trim and equipment. «—» = figure we confirm from your plate. How to know which one your A3 needs A quick trick to know what you need: look at the negative terminal . If it has a sensor with a connector coming out of it (the battery state sensor, the usual VAG Group BEM), your A3 manages charging actively and needs EFB or AGM plus registration of the new battery in the ECU. And if your car left the factory with AGM, it has to stay AGM: you can move up from EFB to AGM, but never down from AGM to EFB . Between generations, engines and trims there are too many combinations to guess: give us your plate or start with a free battery check and we will tell you the exact Ah, CCA, technology, polarity and dimensions.
