Just installed the new heat cover. It's not perfect (a little bigger perimeter) but i like it.
Item No.12:- 5Q0 915 411H, Protective battery casing with flap for battery 69Ah/360A, 68Ah/380A, 72Ah/380A (H6/096 case size) for vehicles with, or without stop start, £23.02 (x1)
My battery crapped out this morning after 4 years. 2019 Golf R which came with an EFB battery. I am leaning towards buying a AGM battery to replace it.
Should the protective cover be replaced also? My current one only covers the sides and not the top.
Stuck at work so I have to make a quick decision so I can get home. Plus side is where I work has both EFB and AGM in stock.
If the new battery case size is the same as the one in the car then the existing cover will fit..
Same size H6 case. I bought the AGM instead of the EFB.
What about the top cover? Mine only covers the sides and not the top.

This is what a bought a few months ago when my 19 OE shit the bed. Good battery and warranty at a good price.Costco sells their Interstate H6 AGM battery for $170
Ended up picking up the costco interstate before they closed. Before buying it I was reading online and everyone was saying once interstate switched their production to mexico the quality went down the toilet. I went to costco and the batteries werent the typical green top/white case, instead they were all black. I picked one that was made in the last 30 days and when I got home I took off the sticker and saw it was made in Germany. So for $170 im pretty damn happy.This is what a bought a few months ago when my 19 OE shit the bed. Good battery and warranty at a good price.

Can confirm, just tried to order and they said item has been superseded.Warning: the bigger battery cover 5Q0915411H is no longer available from E-ACCA and a few other outlets. It is still listed as being available at E-ACCA, but when i ordered it from them they sent me 5WA915418B instead. That part is half the battery height and has no lid flap, cuz it is half the battery height. i contacted them and they said their vendor told them it was a replacement and that the original part number is listed as no longer available. Looking around i see 5Q0915411H still listed as availabe from some places including my local dealer, but other places list it as discontinued. Be careful ordering the bigger battery cover.
Sorry if this is beating a dead horse….but there is truly so much conflicting answers I just have to ask.
I have a 2021 6MT with NO bcm module. My stock battery just shit the bed at 30k miles and I need to replace it.
Do I need to program for a new one? I do not have vcds or obdeleven and do not have a bcm module.
Obviously I want the battery to last as long as it can but I can’t seem to find a straight answer of whether or not I need to code for the new battery without a bcm. I don’t want to go buy an obdeleven (even though I know it will be handy beyond this) simply in order to replace the battery as I’d like to get her back on the road asap.
Can someone simply give me a yes or no answer on whether or not I need to code for a new battery if I DO NOT have a bcm?
Thank you!
So the wire isn’t for the battery control module? It’s specifically for the stsrt stop module? That was my understanding of your original breakdown. Already been chastised on other threads for even using BCM to refer to the battery control since apparently that means Body Control Module to some people lol.So you don't have the funny little extra wire terminal on the negative cable on the battery...????
No "extra wire"= no stop/start module......not "NO BCM".....
Your car is a 2021yr, & VAG in the Audi have been burying the Battery coding coding in the main BCM for over 16yrs at least...
Most cars since 2016yr need loads of coding etc just for a simple component change, ..wait till you see an electric car!!...
