Ten gets you one they're now illegal in the USA anyway.

In Germany, ecologically dangerous battery types are widely available, with
arrangements having been made for their safe collection and disposal.  In the 
USA, they were simply banned - irrespective of the cost/benefit payoff. 

Somewhere on the battery will be a type number or similar.  Post it here, 
let's see if anyone else has the same problem, and let's take a view on whether 
the UK Audi quattro Owners Club can help.

In passing, we in the UK sometimes find it kinda odd that US citizens can 
legally own M16s and rocket launchers but not mercury batteries.
