Audi e-tron GT battery
The current Audi e-tron GT family uses a 105 kWh gross, 97 kWh usable battery and supports DC charging at up to 320 kW.
The current Audi e-tron GT family uses an 800-volt lithium-ion battery with 105 kWh gross and 97 kWh usable capacity. Audi introduced this battery with the substantially updated model family in 2024.
The pack contains 33 modules with twelve pouch cells in each module. Revised cell chemistry, cooling and packaging increased capacity while reducing battery weight by nine kilograms to approximately 625 kg.
Installation
The battery is installed in the underbody between the axles. Recesses in the rear footwell create space for rear passengers’ feet despite the low seating position and roofline. The position contributes to a low center of gravity and balanced axle loads.

Charging
Maximum DC charging power is 320 kW at a suitable high-power charger. Under ideal conditions, Audi specifies:
- approximately 18 minutes from 10 to 80 percent; and
- up to 280 km of WLTP range added in ten minutes for selected versions.
The charging curve depends on state of charge, battery temperature, charger capability and ambient conditions. Navigation-based preconditioning prepares the battery when a compatible high-power charger is selected as the destination.
The standard European AC onboard charger supports 11 kW. A 22 kW charger is available in selected markets and configurations. Supplied cables and charging equipment vary by market.
Thermal management
Four cooling circuits manage the temperature of the battery, electric motors, power electronics and cabin. The system can heat or cool the battery before rapid charging and can increase cooling during repeated high-power driving. A heat pump uses waste heat from high-voltage components to reduce cabin-heating energy demand.
Available regenerative braking power increased to as much as 400 kW with the updated battery and drivetrain. The actual value depends on battery temperature, state of charge and driving conditions.
First-generation battery
The e-tron GT produced from 2021 until the 2024 update used a different pack with 93.4 kWh gross and 83.7 kWh usable capacity. It supported DC charging at up to 270 kW and a five-to-80-percent charging time of about 22.5 minutes under ideal conditions. Detailed cell data published for that pack should not be applied to the current 105 kWh battery.
