You can purchase a SSB i-Start EFB66T for $260.00 at Leading Battery Supplier in Brisbane, Wholesale and Retail. Their in-store fitting service is free, but confirm if that includes a reset of the battery registration, which needs to be done with a scan tool.

Now call me sceptical but does anyone else find recoding a new battery a ridiculous thing , ok I get the desire to save fuel etc with switching electrical things off and on so the alternator is not working all the time . But call me old school for the last what hundred years all you did was whack in a new battery and off you go , whats with all this guff about recoding stuff all the time , do other car makers do this or is a VW thing ? If you read my latest post it seems these AGM,s dont last long at all .
Doesnt it get recoded to tell the ECU or whichever part needs to know so that it charges somewhat differently on a new battery to an old one. Was thread about it a fair while ago
