Sorry Welshy, aye battery

Have a look at TAYNA batteries they are great to use and just stick your car details in and they show what you need / should have. thumbsup:

Update just fitted a Banner 110 battery, fitted no problems, gave it a protective jacket, as we live in the wilds, any little helps. Will see how this goes each day, i will test the voltage every morning. the battery that came off was a Tanya Enduroline+ 096-12v- 78ah-740A.
the battery i now have is a Banner Starting Bull 110-12v-80ah-660a

A lot a air gets around the back side of the battery. In our case this is usually welcome as it keeps the battery cooler.

brilliant thanks again Lightwater

A solar panel on the dashboard when parked outdoors is a great thing. Use it everyday and love it. No quick battery drain issue though. I bought the solar charger since at least half of the year I ride motorcycle. One day, after prolonged period of not using the car, the battery was dead. So, I put it on the solar charger through the rear socket and it works great.

Thanks Jules, looking at some now actually on fleabay

Make sure it has a diode on it so it doesn't drain the battery at night. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

but...is the alternator charging properly? Have you done an amp drain test?

Hi Sid the alternator is charging properly, that was the first test, no amp drain test yet, since the new battery was fitted she has not failed to start, what threw me was the vehicle came with a new battery and receipt, but after removing and getting in the bigger battery it seems ok (oh and the earth lead mod) time will tell, so fingers crossed

Found out of here with some great advice that Freelanders are greedy sods when it comes to power, glad you're sorted


Maybe santa will fetch you a CTEK charger
