Re: Exploding Battery!!

["David I. Dalva" <dave@TIS.COM>]

	Anyway, when I picked it up at the body shop, they had to give me a
	jump start. O.K., no problem, some one just left the lights on,
	right?...Nope - later that day I tried to start it again - dead.

I recently took my '91 Coupe Q to the shop for repair due to an accident
caused by snowy conditions and stupid drivers (:-), and the battery died
there too after they were done.  They recharged it, but it didn't hold a
charge, so had to replace it (under warranty, of course)....

The guy told me this is a common problem; that body shops tend to kill Audi
batteries (???????).
