Default B8.5 S4 replacement battery

Hi folks,
STF but couldn't find a definitive answer to this question for B8.5s. I'm getting a low battery warning for my 2013 with original OEM battery (Moll brand - 8KO 915 105 F). Could anyone confirm that the battery below will work in my car? I've seen confirmations that it works in 2012 and older but want to make sure there wasnt a change to 2013. It's about $80 cheaper than I've been quoted by Audi and by an indy mechanic. Thanks!

Battery should be the same for both. If you are not sure, type in a search for a 2010-11 and see what comes up and then type in a search for 2013-14 battery.

I put a Duralast in mine when it died over a year ago. Can't confirm that it is the same model. My car is a 2011 . Didn't pay over $130. Perhaps the one I purchased was a cheaper model?

I used this battery from amazon in my 2010 S4. It fit fine. I made a change to the type with VAG-Com.

Dunno if they have the model but had good results with both Wal-Mart and also Autozone house batteries in other vehicles. Shop price, guarantee, and convenience...
