Battery Reccomendations and what to look out for

The time has come to change the battery on my 2.7 sport. Does anyone have any Reccomendations as to what I should buy or look out for?

The Exide is a 100Ah, 900CCA battery, as well as being £15 cheaper

The genuine LR battery is an AGM battery part number is LR033179. (mine is made by exide) Not sure what age your Sport is, however JLR have been fitting AGM batteries now for several years, so your existing battery could well be an AGM battery.

AGM were standard fit in 2010>on MY's, and essential for those models with stop/start

Unnecessary expense for an earlier car Thumbs Up

Thanks guys. Ive ordered an Exide Battery as recommended by Disco_Mikey. Hopefully it will be simple to remove and fit for a simple man like myself. The current battery does not seem to be connected to the vent tube. Can anyone shed any light?

Undo both terminals with a 13mm
Undo clamp bolts, both 8mm
Lift battery. Its heavy

Replace battery in tray
Connect up terminals. They should go right down. If not, ease the clamp open with a screwdriver
Tighten terminals and refit clamp

There is a hole for the vent pipe, so if it hasnt been crushed or squashed, fit it in the hole

Job done Thumbs Up
