I have read through hundreds of threads about batteries and warranties but i cannot figure out what the real warranty is.

My battery died and the car is not even 2 years old yet! I thought a battery should last at least 3 years ... i think its kind of ridiculous especially since it was a new car and they are quoting me 250 for a new battery @ the dealership ... i will go elsewhere if it comes down to that.

Is the battery covered under the 4/50000 warranty or does it have its own 12/12000 warranty, or is it prorated after a certain time period?

The car is a 06 A6 w/ Navi, w/ 20,000 Miles.

Thanks in advance!

Did not know that there was any exceptions, unless you shorted the battery while jumping someones car?

That said, I have a practice of replacing my batteries every 5 years no matter how good in seems to be.

I recall having two batteries replaced under warranty. Once for my ML500 and ones for my A6.
