Wah u still on original batt? Mine is about same mileage and age, and i already changed last June.

700 for AGM batt is ridiculous la. I changed mine at 260 all-in. Also Varta, 70ah.

the connector cover is on the wrong side...

Why wrong leh? I rather view as they shortchanged me 1 connector cover. Anw, those not impt to me as my previous car dun even have 1 and I'm not into covering up the batt with all sorts of covers.

As long as have the heat shield wrap, good enough.

There is no battery status to set. Previous conversation is about changing the batt capacity in case it affects how the alternator charges the battery, ...but which seriously...so you are all good.

Definitely sounds more reasonable than Skoda service center.

Would changing battery by outside shops void warranty?

Not so sure thou, my previous battery I changed outside. 

Current one is under SSC, they gave me 2 Yrs warranty for the battery.

Need to add a generic serial number to enable state monitor reset .. if got cable quite fast .. if don’t have also ok .. just need to monitor after 2 months if your start stop do not kick in.. means your new batt kaput liao.. go cliam warranty for new batt and this time reset ..

Safety. In case, something short it to ground. Although pretty unlikely to happen, but can cause some serious damage/injury if it would to happen.

Don't think Skoda cars have BEM, so no worry la.

Tested the outgoing model 1.4 octavia today, was really impressed by the drive as compared to the kadjar/audi q3 but pricing wise ain't that attractive now. Torque and power were smooth without much of a lag. 

Might actually consider getting 2nd hand units that are 1-2 year old from the market. Anything particular I should look for? 

On a side note, the skoda chap also told me that the new model will be in around April and hopefully it gets ves rebate.
