So why would you think that the throttle body would need alignment? I never heard of such a thing. Did the code refer to the throttle body? A Throttle Positioning Sensor maybe?

Either the check engine light isn't working or maybe the old battery can't handle the amount of power you put into it,or maybe Audi's break a lot, isn't there is a connection here?
