I don't think the battery is causing your problem. It's not an electric motor. Have it scanned for fault codes. It might be fuel related if it happens more so on a low fuel tank. There was also a recall on the coil pack....the thing that gives the engine spark. Don't let the dealer trick you to pay for a recall. They get reimbursed by the factory. And that's the only reason to go to a VW dealer....recall and warranty work, IF there is any.
