i don't know if you've resolved the fitting problem but i was thinking possibly cable ties?
at work we used heavy duty cable ties that weigh nothing and could easily hold a battery in place as ive used this method before on a Machine when the clamp was broken by thief's.

Just a thought  :happy2:

19.2 Kgs  :happy2:
70 Ah  ??

OEM one?  Will check in the morning



OEM Battery is 70Ah  :happy2:

Surely not.  How can you replace a 70Ah battery with a 15Ah battery

I'm sure we'll soon find out if their enough or not.  Anyone thats fitted one had any problems yet?  Although maybe too soon to tell.

My fat battery is a 70 Ah type as well while I know A3 2.0 TFSIs just having 60 Ah.
Keep in mind ''Amp hours'' isn't the one and only. ''Cranking Amps'' is even more
important ro start an engine.

So if you don't listen to music while the engine isn't running I don't see any issue
reducing the Amp Hours radically.
