I bought this battery Oct 10, 2016. On Dec 6, 2018 it was dead and won't take a charge. Just because it has a name brand does not mean it is good.

I decided I did not wish to spend $160 or more to replace the battery in my 2003 A4. It is a tight fit, and I made some alterations this battery has been working fine now for a year or more. I purchased another one for my wife's 2005 Forester, and it is working fine there as well.
