Voltage is not good indicator of a battery health. Battery that have lost most of it's capacity after charging shows full voltage, but contains very little energy. Audi tried to make more accurate gauge measuring all the times more than just voltage and integrating results. That Works better than just voltmeter, bu not good enough, so they got rid of it in the latest MMI update.

Yes, that's what I asked. Check if you have some constant discharge and be sure that you have that battery warranty. New battery unfortunately doesn't necessarily mean good battery.
