Flooded Battery Care Point

If the vehicle is equipped with a flooded battery, make sure the replacement battery is a flooded battery of the same specification (cold cranking amperage (CCA), battery standard (EN/SAE) / amp hour rating (Ah) ) as the original battery Under no circumstances should you fit a flooded battery to a vehicle that originally had an AGM battery, unless formally instructed by Jaguar/Land Rover

AGM Battery Care Point

If the vehicle is equipped with an absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery, make sure the replacement battery is a AGM battery of the same specification (cold cranking amperage (CCA), battery standard (EN/SAE) / amp hour rating (Ah) ) as the original battery, unless formally instructed by Jaguar/Land Rover
