Hi,

I need to replace the battery of my girl's Skoda rapid spaceback. The battery is AGM, does it need to be coded? How is it done with VCDS? THX

Regards

Yes, you need to code. Just type in the vcds battery encoding into Google and A procedure is described

I will follow your instructions. Thank you

I, in its day, also doubted the issue, because when I changed the battery, I did not see anything strange, but they had told me that it had to be coded, so that the car would understand that it is new, right?

That is correct.
New battery without coding will not last long.

New OE battery with coding will last 7-8 years at least.
Nee AM battery with coding will last 4-5 years, depending on what brand you choose.
