If you go in the search section you will find numerous posts on this including from me, it seems everyone gets it but learn to ignore it If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

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
