Changing battery

RE: Changing battery
In the past, my car seemed to get all the way back to normal right about 40 miles.
In other words, the normal boost/power was not "all the way there" until about 40 miles. Then, I could feel the power kick back in.
Funny though, last week I did the starter, had the battery off for a day. When I hooked it back up and went cruising, the power band seemed pretty normal, like it had already adjusted properly after a few miles.
So, I was like, bonus, I can drive the crap out of it right away.
Also to note, I my idle was dropping lower than normal until I did a tba this morning. Just turn the key on, and let it sit for 60 seconds. Then start the car.

RE: Changing battery
Not too much needs to be done after disconnecting the battery, but you will want to:
1. Turn the ignition on for a few minutes before starting the car, so the ECU can do a TBA.
2. Enter your radio code so the radio works.
3. Reset the auto up/down on the windows by lowering them and holding the button for a few seconds, and raising it and holding the button for a few seconds, a couple times per window.
After that you should be good to go. The ECU will adapt over the next 40-odd miles or so.

hi,
to preserve all the memories of your Audi:
before disconnecting the old battery, connecting an ordinary pile (not rechargeable) 9 volt in the cigar-lighter.
You exchanges the battery. Afterwards, you disconnect the pile from 9 V and all remained OK.
Nothing else to do!
