FAQs for VW Polo & Polo Vivo Battery Replacement

Why did my battery fail so quickly?

Short trips and aftermarket subs drain batteries faster. We recommend occasional long drives or a maintenance charger if your car is parked for long periods.

Can you test for parasitic drain?

Yes. Our diagnostics identify whether a radio, tracker, or alarm is draining the battery overnight.
