    Sorry, im still waiting for dealer 2 to reply.

    Dealer 1 recommended to use the same efb version.
    No need egm version unless use in cold weather or high usage such as camping.

    Dealer 1 cannot tell me the brand that they're going to use.
    Cost $460 including installation and reprogramming.

    Anyone knows if we buy outside dealer they know how to reprogramming the code? Such as every battery shop or autobarn?

    Dealer 2 said AGM or what ever in the spec - cost $473 inc GST. (battery, install and reprogramming).
    Use Varta or Skoda approved.

    Anyone knows/try before? if we buy outside dealer they know how to reprogramming the code? Such as every battery shop or autobarn?
    or better still go through Skoda Dealer?


    Edit:
    Currently my car doesn't have start stop working because not enough voltage but when I check it has 14v when the engine running so I hope still alright.

    Pretty sure I have previously replied with Genuine Part Numbers.
    They will only replace like for like (EFB / EFB or AGM / AGM).
    All Genuine Batteries are "generally" Varta / Banner / Moll / Excide etc.

    If you choose to get an aftermarket battery; Century / Varta / Supercharge / Federal / AC Delco etc.
    Just get the place you purchased it from to code it to the vehicle.
    Then get an AGM if you can.

    If however your car is still under warranty, get the dealer / roadside assist to do the replacement.

    Simple.

    Ring the shop that you are considering buying from and ask.

    edit: PS why do you want start/stop? It kills batteries.

    Unfortunately outside warranty. Car 75k km already.
    Normally i turn off start stop every time drive the car.

    After change battery, i probably will code it to disable start stop.

    Tested still 14v when engine is running. Hopefully still last a few more months

    KMS are irrelevant.

    Depending on age of the model, ŠKODA offer an unlimited KMS warranty.

    What car do you have? What year is it?

    I had my (MY17) ŠKODA Superb 206TSI 4x4 in for its 3yr / 45,000km service at Mt Gravatt ŠKODA last week.
    Battery tested poorly, so the battery was replaced with genuine Varta 000 915 105 FC (EFB+ Start/Stop) 70Ah 420A 700A (Made In Germany) under warranty (5yr / Unlimited kms).
