Recently, my car alarm has started to go off at random times of the day. I hadn't been driving it much during lockdown and the log book shows the battery has never been replaced. I've had the car for 2 years and no problems. Even now, the car starts and runs fine without no battery lights showing on the dash.
After doing some research, the cause is most likely my battery being on its last legs. It has a resting voltage of 12v and that's after I fully charged it using my friend's CTEK charger.
The current battery is a Varta AGM as shown in the picture. It has a BEM code with a QR code alongside it.
I can't find the exact alternative Varta battery with 92Ah 860 (CCA?) as the current battery. Therefore, would this battery be a suitable replacement?
I'm not familiar with the F21/115 or G14/019 AGM nomenclature that Varta use and what they mean. I'm guessing Varta don't do the 92Ah 520 A DIN 860 A aftermarket version as it's an Audi OEM version?
How do I know which one my current battery is?
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
