Just programmed my 2007 Audi A8 battery. No problems. I purchased the 3 VIN option because I have 2 Audis and dealership in my area is price prohibitive. The wanted $600 to install the battery. I told the parts guy I had VCDS and he gave me a dirty look. Lol. Not only did I save $ but now I have the VCDS software, Im always working on my cars so I was glad to drop $200 on this. Thank you guys
Hi, i have changed both battery in my phaeton and looks like i got to code them, i have both AGM installed both 95ah, but charging is different 14.4 for starter battery and 13.7 for system, i think starter battery have been coded as simple acid battery what been installed before, in what channel did you code both batteries?
@@vadimsim3915 Hi, did you solve the problem? How does the AGM batteies work with your Phaeton? I had AGM comfort battery and normal Lead Acid one for the starter, Phaeton started acting up (many electronic things not working properly) so I replaced the AGM with a normal Lead acid, problem solved, but my car destroys batteries every year to the point I get new ones under warranty. Do you know how to code them? which of these 3 procedures is correct for the dual battery Phaeton? Thanks
@@anzew88 Hey, I had no issue with new batteries, never coded, but I made sure nothing eats battery while it's 'sleeping', also make sure you charge comfort battery once in 2 month, depends how short your daily runs are
@@vadimsim3915 I have the comfort battery connected to magnetic socket, so during the winter the car is usually on charger during the night, because I run Webasto every morning and my drives are about 20 mins long.

Great video, however there is one piece of information which is not really correct. You do not need to use a genuine battery. There is nothing special about the OEM battery - it does not have unicorn horn dust in it! The part number, manufacturer and serial number are text only fields. We have validated this, and as long as the fields are populated it will work fine. What is important is the nominated capacity of the new battery (Ah) is the same as the battery which is being replaced, as well as the construction (i.e. replace AGM with AGM). Changing the serial number will trigger the BEM to forget any learned values for the old battery and start learning the new battery. By the way, I love my VCDS :-)
When replaced with the same battery, is the coding not really needed then or is it always needed? Trying to figure out if I can just replace my car battery.
@@NickBusscher You need to add a code, but it does not affect the management of the battery. It is just a text record in the system. Use the same BEM code and change one digit in the serial number and you will be OK
@@NickBusscher According to battery manufacturer BANNER you just need to change the battery. Only difference is that when you don't code it it just takes longer for the car to learn the new battery.
Just did this with my 2013 A5 2.0t. Took a moment to realize that my VCDS connects via CAN method but once that was done it was a matter of inputting the value correctly. BTW, I used an Autocraft battery from Carquest, it is virtually identical as the Moll MLA battery that was OEM installed for much less money. Both are made by Johnson Controls, so reliability shouldn't be an issue.
How do you bump the existing serial number one digit? Is it first or last digit? It looks like my battery should have 000915105CD cod. Can you recommend aftermarket battery to purchase? I am considering DieHard Platinum AGM Battery: H9 Group Size, 950 CCA, 1000 CA, 100 Amp Hour Capacity. BTW I have 2018 audi a5 sportback. Thanks.
A couple of important hints. If you buy a new battery (like I did) from Audi, and perhaps VW and others, the manufacturer may not be in the listed of accepted one for the middle code you enter. I bought a new one from the dealer today and it was a CCL battery, which isn't in the list. At that point, just use another code from the list. It doesn't matter. I also read that if going non-OEM, just take the old one and change one of the later digits in the third group, increasing it by 1. That's it. I went OEM since the original just died yesterday on a 2013 S4 with 120k miles, so if it lasted that long, I think going the same route for $50 more than a cheapie battery was a smart move.
RossTech-its not about being the correct battery or incorrect battery. Its about buying a aftermarket replacement part instead of buying a often overpriced dealership part. If I peel the stickers off a Varta and a East Penn battery you really think that even a Audi tech can tell the difference? Do you also think that every tank of fuel is inferior to the fuel the car shipped with :P? Or that a bulb that isn't OEM is inferior as well? This isn't a ECM or a BCM. Its a storage device that uses chemicals to make electricity. Something that is pretty universal from Ford, Nissan, GM, VW and every other brand. Its not rocket science. This just a way to milk money from someone. Its not about using "the wrong battery" (cue the dramatic music). Ever think that the reason someone can afford a $40,000 car is because they don't spend money needlessly?
Yes, it's just a battery, but the Battery Management module makes certain assumptions about the battery's characteristics based on the battery coding. Don't blame us for this; we didn't come up with this stuff, we just make a tool that lets you do yourself what would otherwise require a trip to the dealer.
Then don't re-code, simple as that. Why bitch at Ross Tech, or anyone else that's not the manufacturer for that matter? It's not even the dealers' fault, so write a letter to Matthias Müller and whine about it, or, like the rest of us, change your battery and just drive your car.
Jason Walker I was asking why so many others have not needed to do this. Why does it bother you that I pointed it out? If some one else reads that then may not need to pay dealer cost for a batter and recoding and it saves them the money why does that seem to piss you off so much, keyboard warrior? Seems you are the only one whining. Comment was there for months and decided to get hostile about it.
Just replaced the battery in my 2006 Audi A8 with no problems. Just for info, I used a Diehard Gold size H9 battery from Advance Auto and it is made by Varta, same mfr the dealer used and it had a BEM sticker.
I also purchased a Diehard Gold from Advance Auto - DieHard Gold Battery, Group Size H8, 900 CCA Part No. 49H8 But no BEM sticker, also no reference to the Ah rating on this battery The battery I pulled out was a MLA 110Ah, only 850CCA (from a 2014 Q7TDI)
@@jasonl6380 Mine was a Group Size H9 . It looked different than the H8, I'm sure it was from a different Mfr. Diehard brand batteries are sourced from various manufacturers
Silly question, but how do I know if I have the Standalone system that utilizes Battery Regulation, address 61 or the "Integrated into CAN" with the non-UDS? In both examples, the VCDS software says "Protocol: CAN" in the top left corner of the window.
This explains a few things.... i wasn't aware this was even a thing. I just put a 2nd new diehard battery in my 2009 v8. The first time i replaced it, things got weird with the air suspension and the transmission. The second time (last week) nothing went crazy.
I found the Audi part number for my battery and then ordered it from VW for $80 less than Audi wanted for it. I picked it up from the local VW dealer which is MUCH MUCH closer to home.
The algorithm for the battery state detection, co-developed by Audi Electronics Venture GmbH, is core of the battery data module (BDM). The BDM is integrated group-wide into various Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda and Porsche models. The project participants are Audi, VW, Porsche (OEM), Lear Spain, Valls (hardware and operating system), HELLA, Lippstadt (hardware and operating system) and Audi Electronics Venture GmbH (software implementation, software testing, co-development of battery state detection algorithm).
Batteries differ with : chemistry , cell number , capacity , C constant. Car batteries are Lead acid , 6 cell (2volts*6cells=12Volts) , 30 to 60 Ah , 2C . So you look at your battery for you car no matter the maker you only need to look for capacity and buy the same no matter the maker don't fall for specific battery for this crap
Great video, thank you for the great support!!! Replaced the battery in our 2013 Q7 TDI. Battery swap was 20 minutes and 5 minutes to change the battery in the software.
So apparently you are screwed if you buy a non-OE battery because you won't be able to program the battery. I bought an Autocraft H8-AMG Platinum battery for my Q5 and advance auto customer support called the manufacturer and they don't provide these numbers. So in other words, hope that nothing goes wrong (as I am).
As long as you buy the same spec (type and Ah) you just use the existing coding part number and add 1 to the serial or some other value that keeps the length the same but changes the value.
Damn I didnt even have to go through all these changes to replace battery in my 2008 amg benz this is ridiculous.... Last time I check audi/vw didnt make batteries like most other car brands don't they just put there name on it and jack up the price.... This is my 1st and last vw/audi product going back to Mercedes benz amg... But I love ross tech program its great 👍
disconnect the negative rail main battery sensor, no stop/start, use any battery you like, alternator will charge same as Mk1 TT, my batteries 8 years old.
of the 3 BEM Codes listed in this video for Battery Coding to your vehicle. 2 have a total of 10 characters consisting of letters and numbers okay. While the 3rd BEM Code has a total of 11 characters consisting of numbers and letters so how would person know that they have entered the correct information to properly code ie., add that battery to its vehicle system so its been recognized as having been completed ?
Hello, I find the explanation at minute 1:17 to be confusing as to how to identify which version BEM you have. More specifically, how do I know if I should use "Battery Regulation, address 61" or CAN Gateway, address 19 ? Car in question is a 2012 Audi S4. Thanks!
next is that refuling the car requires coding the ECU and they want you to come to the dealer to buy the original VW fuel at 3x the Price.... as Long as customers are willing to pay this shit, they will do it... if majority of customers go mad at the dealer, have a loud Argument and refuse to pay that shit, maybe things Change some day... for those who don´t complain, a new battery should cost 3000$
Stupid question: Banner vendor code BA2 doesn't appear in the drop-down menu. Is this because the battery is EFB and doesn't need coding (no BEM label present)?
Hello. I have an aftermarket battery installed in my audi a4 2009 2.0tdi. Every morning I start the car, yellow battery warning pops up and stays on for a second or two, which, I suppose is because of the battery. It is becoming annoying, so I wanted to ask you is it possible to code the aftermarket battery with some of the random original vendor codes and to somehow “cheat” the system? The battery itself keeps the power all the time (I checked it) although MMI shows battery low sometimes. Thanks in advance.
What is you buy a battery and it doesn't have the BEM code sticker with serial number? Can u use your old battery BEM code to register new battery? For Audi A1 1.4
HI, I have an 2017 Audi TT, the car had a Christmas tree in the dashboard, I check for codes and it throws right wheel sensor, so I change both front Wheel speed sensors...

Hello, I have had a dead battery 2 days ago, and i took it inside overnight to recharge it. The next day, when i've put the battery back, the engine started, but a bunch of errors appeared on the MFD. From what i saw from other sources, these errors appeared because the computer reads the battery as low. My question is, will the errors dissappear as soon as i will get some KMs running or do i need to get a tester on it to delete them?
Quick question. I have a VCDS, and i have changed 4 batteries on four different VW's.. 2 CC's Both 2012. One 2012 VW Tiguan SEL and one 2015 VW Gti. All batteries purchased from the dealership. However i did not do any coding and have not had any issue. If it aint broke i won't fix.. But seeing that i only came across this video after the batteries have been changed, i thought i'd ask the question as to why i didn't have any issue ? I know the dealer wanted to charge $80 for coding, but i thought probably just trying to rip me off and i'd try the swap without paying, and it worked out. The CC's are long sold, but i still have the Gti and Tig, should i bother updating ? or just leave as is.
My understanding of this system is that as long as the battery you replaced didn't force the ECM into "Power Saving Mode" AND the new battery is very close (within 1-2 Ah of the battery being replaced), then the ECU will "learn" the new battery. It doesn't actually learn the new battery as the battery has no data link to the ECU, but the programming within the ECU will "reset" the learned parameters so it doesn't trigger certain sensors or low voltage alarms. I'm in the process of resetting a car that went into Power Saving because of a bad battery. I replaced the battery without knowing about this MMI Power Management System and 5 minutes into the test drive the car gave me a "alternator not charging battery" warning before it went bat shit crazy. It's fine now, but I initially looked into relays and fuses as this issue caused a number of electrical failures. The engine ran, but no other system in the car functioned including lights, transmission, abs, and stability control. As far as the car was concerned, those systems weren't even present.
Most VWs short of the last couple years of Touareg don't have a battery regulation control module nor battery registration. For the cars you listed, none will have an issue with you just replacing the battery and not doing any coding.
That's like saying I just bought some old used brake pads from the scrap yard and they work fine no need to buy new ones. Of course but they don't work AS INTENDED.
How do you add a Yuasa battery to an Audi's system by using VCDS? TPS (which is the trade section of Volkswagen Group here in the UK) only now supply Yuasa batteries - so they are effectively now the OEM battery for all VAG group cars in the UK. However, Yuasa isn't a manufacturer that is showing in the drop-down menu within VCDS when you try to update the battery information, and worse, Yuasa batteries don't have a BEM code on the side of the battery to fill in the other required parts of the information to do a proper job of re-coding the car with a new battery! What does one do in these circumstances?
+madott Simple! To stop you doing it yourself and to get you to bring your vehicle back to the dealership! Repeat business makes more money for the company, and every business exists to make money!
So the car knows when to shut off consumers, what voltage to demand from generator and not under/overcharge, when to disable start/stop, when to turn off parking heater etc..
@@snapdragogon69 unfortunately that falls on deaf ears here because the average consumers feeble little mind cant comprehend the reasoning behind it.

so you're telling me that my Q5 has a battery management system but it is a dumb system and could be any of 3 dumb systems? I have the same size and make of battery, why do I have to do any coding at all? The car is working and charging the battery, if it has any kind of battery mangement system why can't it just charge the battery as needed, why else have a battery management system?
No, the coding is for the BEM (Battery Management System) to forget any learned values and to know that a new battery is installed. I wouldn't recommend installing the battery without letting the BEM know there's a new one.
I've bought a new OEM Varta battery for my 08 A4 8k, and simply can't seem to code it. It has to be coded in the CAN gateway, after adding the part number, manufacturer code and serial it simply goes back to the previous code of the old battery. Anyone seen anything similar?
My advice to you is not to install a Lithium battery in any vehicle. If your car came with one, fine, I guess, but off-the-shelf Lithium batteries are really just not there yet.

1st time I've seen this video, many thanks. I do see people moaning about having to do this, yes part of it is keeping tabs of batteries being swapped for older,tired units while in manufacturers warranty period, yes I have seen this, but also battery management has moved on from the alternator just spinning, monitoring demand state of the unit, and requirements for maintenance of the charge with more control of the alternator.

All of this to theoretically save a couple of grams of CO2 and other exhaust by products. These are the times we are living in and this is only the beginning.
@@vladulescuadrian6080 I think it has more to do with maximizing the life of the battery.

So to that end, not so much a few grams of CO2 saved, but rather several kg of Pb in the long run.

The battery coding is only required for the dealers to see if your battery is registered to the car and under "warranty" or replaced under warranty, NO OTHER REASON
False. "Energy management system" should give you a clue. These systems adjust how they charge your batter. Based on the values that have been stored. When you install a new battery. It can be over charged. Because the system is still trying to give what it still thinks is an old battery, a more aggressive charge. You also will not have proper values to indicate how your new batter health is. The only time you could get away with not coding. Is when you replace a good battery, before it has degraded.

How do you bump the existing serial number one digit? Is it first or last digit? It looks like my battery should have 000915105CD cod. Can you recommend aftermarket battery to purchase? I am considering DieHard Platinum AGM Battery: H9 Group Size, 950 CCA, 1000 CA, 100 Amp Hour Capacity. BTW I have 2018 audi a5 sportback. Thanks.
A couple of important hints. If you buy a new battery (like I did) from Audi, and perhaps VW and others, the manufacturer may not be in the listed of accepted one for the middle code you enter. I bought a new one from the dealer today and it was a CCL battery, which isn't in the list. At that point, just use another code from the list. It doesn't matter.
I also read that if going non-OEM, just take the old one and change one of the later digits in the third group, increasing it by 1. That's it. I went OEM since the original just died yesterday on a 2013 S4 with 120k miles, so if it lasted that long, I think going the same route for $50 more than a cheapie battery was a smart move.
It would be faster to become an astronaut.
Where is the change control for changing from an ELB battery to AGM in Ross Tech please?
Thanks
RossTech-its not about being the correct battery or incorrect battery. Its about buying a aftermarket replacement part instead of buying a often overpriced dealership part. If I peel the stickers off a Varta and a East Penn battery you really think that even a Audi tech can tell the difference? Do you also think that every tank of fuel is inferior to the fuel the car shipped with :P? Or that a bulb that isn't OEM is inferior as well? This isn't a ECM or a BCM. Its a storage device that uses chemicals to make electricity. Something that is pretty universal from Ford, Nissan, GM, VW and every other brand. Its not rocket science. This just a way to milk money from someone. Its not about using "the wrong battery" (cue the dramatic music). Ever think that the reason someone can afford a $40,000 car is because they don't spend money needlessly?
Yes, it's just a battery, but the Battery Management module makes certain assumptions about the battery's characteristics based on the battery coding. Don't blame us for this; we didn't come up with this stuff, we just make a tool that lets you do yourself what would otherwise require a trip to the dealer.
+Uwe Ross then why have people reported on audizine.com that even the dealers often don't bother with doing this for used cars?
And yet, so many have never needed to recode. That is a simple fact.
Then don't re-code, simple as that. Why bitch at Ross Tech, or anyone else that's not the manufacturer for that matter? It's not even the dealers' fault, so write a letter to Matthias Müller and whine about it, or, like the rest of us, change your battery and just drive your car.
Jason Walker I was asking why so many others have not needed to do this. Why does it bother you that I pointed it out? If some one else reads that then may not need to pay dealer cost for a batter and recoding and it saves them the money why does that seem to piss you off so much, keyboard warrior? Seems you are the only one whining. Comment was there for months and decided to get hostile about it.
Just replaced the battery in my 2006 Audi A8 with no problems. Just for info, I used a Diehard Gold size H9 battery from Advance Auto and it is made by Varta, same mfr the dealer used and it had a BEM sticker.
Can you provide a photo of said battery showing the BEM code sticker?
@@RossTechVCDS Can't figure out how to add a photo attachment to my reply
I also purchased a Diehard Gold from Advance Auto -
DieHard Gold
Battery, Group Size H8, 900 CCA
Part No. 49H8
But no BEM sticker, also no reference to the Ah rating on this battery
The battery I pulled out was a MLA 110Ah, only 850CCA (from a 2014 Q7TDI)
@@jasonl6380 Mine was a Group Size H9 . It looked different than the H8, I'm sure it was from a different Mfr. Diehard brand batteries are sourced from various manufacturers
Silly question, but how do I know if I have the Standalone system that utilizes Battery Regulation, address 61 or the "Integrated into CAN" with the non-UDS? In both examples, the VCDS software says "Protocol: CAN" in the top left corner of the window.
This explains a few things.... i wasn't aware this was even a thing. I just put a 2nd new diehard battery in my 2009 v8. The first time i replaced it, things got weird with the air suspension and the transmission. The second time (last week) nothing went crazy.
I found the Audi part number for my battery and then ordered it from VW for $80 less than Audi wanted for it. I picked it up from the local VW dealer which is MUCH MUCH closer to home.
I've had multiple VWs and Audis and always loved how Audi dealers charge more for the exact same part because their clientele tends to be richer.
I would like to meet the one who developed such a system
Hahaa yea
The algorithm for the battery state detection, co-developed by Audi Electronics Venture GmbH, is core of the battery data module (BDM). The BDM is integrated group-wide into various Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda and Porsche models.
The project participants are Audi, VW, Porsche (OEM), Lear Spain, Valls (hardware and operating system), HELLA, Lippstadt (hardware and operating system) and Audi Electronics Venture GmbH (software implementation, software testing, co-development of battery state detection algorithm).
Batteries differ with : chemistry , cell number , capacity , C constant.
Car batteries are Lead acid , 6 cell (2volts*6cells=12Volts) , 30 to 60 Ah , 2C . So you look at your battery for you car no matter the maker you only need to look for capacity and buy the same no matter the maker don't fall for specific battery for this crap
Great video, thank you for the great support!!!
Replaced the battery in our 2013 Q7 TDI. Battery swap was 20 minutes and 5 minutes to change the battery in the software.
have to replace my battery in my 2013 TDI, what battery did you use?? What VCDS interface did you use??
Thanks
So apparently you are screwed if you buy a non-OE battery because you won't be able to program the battery. I bought an Autocraft H8-AMG Platinum battery for my Q5 and advance auto customer support called the manufacturer and they don't provide these numbers. So in other words, hope that nothing goes wrong (as I am).
As long as you buy the same spec (type and Ah) you just use the existing coding part number and add 1 to the serial or some other value that keeps the length the same but changes the value.
@@snapdragogon69 thank you for the tip, you are exactly correct!!👍
Damn I didnt even have to go through all these changes to replace battery in my 2008 amg benz this is ridiculous.... Last time I check audi/vw didnt make batteries like most other car brands don't they just put there name on it and jack up the price....

disconnect the negative rail main battery sensor, no stop/start, use any battery you like, alternator will charge same as Mk1 TT, my batteries 8 years old.
of the 3 BEM Codes listed in this video for Battery Coding to your vehicle. 2 have a total of 10 characters consisting of letters and numbers okay. While the 3rd BEM Code has a total of 11 characters consisting of numbers and letters so how would person know that they have entered the correct information to properly code ie., add that battery to its vehicle system so its been recognized as having been completed ?
Obd11 seems a lot easier when doing battery coding
Insta?
@@michaelbmw1931 simp
@@michaelbmw1931 WTF lol
So only non uds is necessary to change the Ah values? The first two, is that information embedded in the serial number?
Hello, I find the explanation at minute 1:17 to be confusing as to how to identify which version BEM you have. More specifically, how do I know if I should use "Battery Regulation, address 61" or CAN Gateway, address 19 ? Car in question is a 2012 Audi S4. Thanks!
I have the same question. I have an Audi A3 8PA. Did you find the answer?
next is that refuling the car requires coding the ECU and they want you to come to the dealer to buy the original VW fuel at 3x the Price.... as Long as customers are willing to pay this shit, they will do it... if majority of customers go mad at the dealer, have a loud Argument and refuse to pay that shit, maybe things Change some day... for those who don´t complain, a new battery should cost 3000$
Stupid question:
Banner vendor code BA2 doesn't appear in the drop-down menu.
Is this because the battery is EFB and doesn't need coding (no BEM label present)?
Hello. I have an aftermarket battery installed in my audi a4 2009 2.0tdi. Every morning I start the car, yellow battery warning pops up and stays on for a second or two, which, I suppose is because of the battery. It is becoming annoying, so I wanted to ask you is it possible to code the aftermarket battery with some of the random original vendor codes and to somehow “cheat” the system? The battery itself keeps the power all the time (I checked it) although MMI shows battery low sometimes. Thanks in advance.
What is you buy a battery and it doesn't have the BEM code sticker with serial number? Can u use your old battery BEM code to register new battery? For Audi A1 1.4

Hello,
I have had a dead battery 2 days ago, and i took it inside overnight to recharge it.
The next day, when i've put the battery back, the engine started, but a bunch of errors appeared on the MFD.
From what i saw from other sources, these errors appeared because the computer reads the battery as low.
My question is, will the errors dissappear as soon as i will get some KMs running or do i need to get a tester on it to delete them?
Will disappear
Quick question. I have a VCDS, and i have changed 4 batteries on four different VW's.. 2 CC's Both 2012. One 2012 VW Tiguan SEL and one 2015 VW Gti. All batteries purchased from the dealership. However i did not do any coding and have not had any issue. If it aint broke i won't fix.. But seeing that i only came across this video after the batteries have been changed, i thought i'd ask the question as to why i didn't have any issue ? I know the dealer wanted to charge $80 for coding, but i thought probably just trying to rip me off and i'd try the swap without paying, and it worked out. The CC's are long sold, but i still have the Gti and Tig, should i bother updating ? or just leave as is.
My understanding of this system is that as long as the battery you replaced didn't force the ECM into "Power Saving Mode" AND the new battery is very close (within 1-2 Ah of the battery being replaced), then the ECU will "learn" the new battery.
It doesn't actually learn the new battery as the battery has no data link to the ECU, but the programming within the ECU will "reset" the learned parameters so it doesn't trigger certain sensors or low voltage alarms.
I'm in the process of resetting a car that went into Power Saving because of a bad battery. I replaced the battery without knowing about this MMI Power Management System and 5 minutes into the test drive the car gave me a "alternator not charging battery" warning before it went bat shit crazy. It's fine now, but I initially looked into relays and fuses as this issue caused a number of electrical failures. The engine ran, but no other system in the car functioned including lights, transmission, abs, and stability control. As far as the car was concerned, those systems weren't even present.
Most VWs short of the last couple years of Touareg don't have a battery regulation control module nor battery registration. For the cars you listed, none will have an issue with you just replacing the battery and not doing any coding.
I just replaced the battery in my 2015 GTI with an OE dealer one, all I had to do was swap as normal.
No coding necessary.
That's like saying I just bought some old used brake pads from the scrap yard and they work fine no need to buy new ones. Of course but they don't work AS INTENDED.
Can I replace only one number of Bem? The important is the Ah, is it correct?
My MK6 Jetta SE doesn't have the battery regulation option and for the record I never did it on my MK6 GTI
How do you add a Yuasa battery to an Audi's system by using VCDS?
TPS (which is the trade section of Volkswagen Group here in the UK) only now supply Yuasa batteries - so they are effectively now the OEM battery for all VAG group cars in the UK.
However, Yuasa isn't a manufacturer that is showing in the drop-down menu within VCDS when you try to update the battery information, and worse, Yuasa batteries don't have a BEM code on the side of the battery to fill in the other required parts of the information to do a proper job of re-coding the car with a new battery!
What does one do in these circumstances?
Richard Mackenzie did you solve this? I'm in the same boat :/
My understanding is code manufacturer and serial number not important. Only only battery technology and Ah
How do you code Entertec batteries?

+madott Simple! To stop you doing it yourself and to get you to bring your vehicle back to the dealership! Repeat business makes more money for the company, and every business exists to make money!
There are alot easier ways to make an extra dollar then to have your battery code properly. like changing wipers.

Audi a4 1.8 tfsi year 2009. Can install the original battery without this coding ?
No, the coding is for the BEM (Battery Management System) to forget any learned values and to know that a new battery is installed. I wouldn't recommend installing the battery without letting the BEM know there's a new one.
I've bought a new OEM Varta battery for my 08 A4 8k, and simply can't seem to code it. It has to be coded in the CAN gateway, after adding the part number, manufacturer code and serial it simply goes back to the previous code of the old battery. Anyone seen anything similar?

The battery coding is only required for the dealers to see if your battery is registered to the car and under "warranty" or replaced under warranty, NO OTHER REASON
It's needed for the stop/start feature to operate.
False, the car computer changes how it recharges the battery depending on its life, you are misleading
False.
"Energy management system" should give you a clue.
These systems adjust how they charge your batter. Based on the values that have been stored.
When you install a new battery. It can be over charged. Because the system is still trying to give what it still thinks is an old battery, a more aggressive charge. You also will not have proper values to indicate how your new batter health is.
The only time you could get away with not coding. Is when you replace a good battery, before it has degraded.
