Thx for the info George
Weird. I don’t think our 2019 Alltrack came with one...I've been rewriting the thread..that black fabric battery cover is actually a fiberglass heat shield...VAG consider the engine bay a high temperature area for the battery which is why they shield it..there is also a polystyrene shield under the tray...they also state if you fit an AGM it should be shielded.....if you don't use the VAG one get something else...but don't leave it unshielded as it will affect the battery as water loss/positive grid corrosion etc...might occur...

Thats what I thought I recalled. I’ll check when I get my kid off to school.If the car was fitted with AGM at factory then it will have one......if it was fitted with EFB it might have one....but it looks like they decided to remove them around Mk7.5 facelift...
It might be helpful to edit the first post to include coding instructions for the battery technology adaptation. For example:If the car was fitted with AGM at factory then it will have one......if it was fitted with EFB it might have one....but it looks like they decided to remove them around Mk7.5 facelift...

It might be helpful to edit the first post to include coding instructions for the battery technology adaptation. For example:
Normal battery = "Wet"
EFB battery= "EFB"
EFB+ battery= "EFB_plus"
AGM battery= "Fleece"
LiFePO4 battery = "Lithium_ion"
I see far too many people incorrectly selecting "Binary AGM" when installing AGM batteries.

https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/27002/When I wrote the post the back in late early 2015 info was correct as far as anybody was aware using the version of VCDS then.....when did Ross Tech say the Binary AGM isn't for AGM batteries??
Found my original post on Ross-Tech forum when I asked about "Binary AGM" so I set mine to this.....& they didn't have any other info back then as the platform was so new to them.. (I'm under the name "VAG-Dave)

Binary-AGM is mistranslated from German. It's actually meant to say Bipolar AGM.
