Batteries with a magic eye
In all vehicle types with the battery in the engine compartment (except vehicles with the start-stop system), maintenance-free batteries with liquid battery acid and magical eye are mounted.
The magic eye gives information via a colour indicator about:
t  The electrolyte level and the charge state of the battery - the battery indicator of the magic eye can show three colours (green, black, bright yellow).
t  Electrolyte level - the battery indicator of the magic eye can show two colours (black, bright yellow).
  Note
t  The introduction of the new (two-coloured) indicator is performed gradually, i.e. both versions are only valid for an interim period. In the future, only the colours »black« or »bright yellow« will remain.
t  Difference between the batteries according to the production number and the index see → Chapter.
Fleece batteries (AGM batteries)
In vehicles with the battery located in the luggage compartment (Superb II, 3.6 ltr. engine) and in vehicles with the „start-stop“ system, maintenance-free fleece batteries (AGM batteries) are installed. These batteries do not have a magic eye → Chapter.
