This time of year its worth topping up a older battery with a trickle charger as yes they can be tested to be fine but the power demands of these cars are massive and cold weather takes it toll. Mine was tested as a good battery a while ago but was only on the edge in the power terms I needed. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

The car had been parked in the drive overnight as usual. I had it tested at my local indie yesterday, and he said the battery was ok but not great. Nearly 5 years old so not bad really. He thought that you needed a JLR brand battery to replace it,? Is that correct? the only thing that seems common after fitting a new one is the window reset, anything else? MY 2013 SD GS Auto |

Does not have to be JLR but a quality stop start with good amperage. Tayna or similar supplier possibly or just get a trickle charger but at 4.5 years I changed mine (still in garage in case I trade out to a dealer this year)

Donβt think you need a new battery mine has done this from new and dealer has checked battery more than once. The FL2 is power hungry. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
