Very nice unit. Comparably what I use [Battery Tender]: https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tende...r+plus+charger
I now have three of these chargers they are perfect and high tech.
My Audi Service Dept. said that if you leave your car more than a couple weeks it is advisable to keep the battery charged mainly to keep the life of the battery optimized.

I tried to find the specs for the battery in the 2016 TTS but I can't tell for sure.
So when using a NOCO Genius G3500 battery charger the likely choices are...
1. 12-volt Normal battery.
2. 12-volt AGM battery. (AGM=Absorbent Glass Mat)
3. 12-volt Lithium battery.
I'm thinking the correct setting would be '12-volt AGM'.
The owner's manual mentions that the battery is probably AGM type, though it's oddly vague about it. I tried to look at the battery in the trunk (under the carpet & under the plastic floor), but it's covered up pretty well with its own fitted plastic cover & metal strap-down and I didn't want to start disassembling things.
What do you all think is the right setting (1,2,3)?
Thanks,
Windy1138.

My Battery Tender doesn't care. It just charges whatever.

I contacted the company and they sent me adapter wires at no charge:

Hey Phil.....I purchased the same puddle lights from Amazon, looks easy to replace.....but as you mention the connection is different. You say they sent you adapter wires. I'd like to get these, but I can't find any phone number for the company to call....I've searched high and low on the internet, no way to contact them. How did you find a number to get the wire adapter??
I just let them know that my TTS connection for the lights didn't work. From that feedback they sent me the wires at no charge.
