Battery Cover

[KWHines@aol.com]

I just had my battery checked at Sears and it failed the load test as
expected.  I went with a new Die Hard International series 41 which is listed
as the proper replacement for the CQ and most other Audis.  The battery does
fit in the tray, but the battery cover will not fit.  I'm concerned because
the Owner's Manual says it's important to always have the cover in place.

What should I do?  I guess I could return the battery and pay the extra $ for
the OEM replacement.  However, if the cover isn't really needed then I'm OK.
 TIA for any help.
