According to the BMW and Audi Service reps. the answer is yes. I would like to hear an answer from those who know that are not associated with Audi/BMW. If true it more than doubles the cost of a DIY battery exchange. The BMW dealer told my wife it was not coded by BMW the battery could explode. Killed my chances of saving over $200.

Car needs to know it's a new battery so that it will change the way it charges it. Car battery tech has not caught up with laptop/phone batteries where they report their level of charge to the host environment.

The battery in my old Lexus only had a guaranteed 3-year life, and Audi may be similar. I don't see anything in the manual and don't want to dig around in the trunk, but the battery is often one of the areas that car manufacturers skimp on. Like a lot of things now, they want to cover leases and then you're on your own.
