IIRC 4 years or so ago there was a problem with Freelander2 and Evoques having strange battery drain issues and it was found that the earthing strap between the gearbox and the body was loose - might be worth a check on the earthing connections. LR tried all sorts of software upgrades to the BMS before this was found. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I connect my CTEK pretty much every night and never experienced stop/start issues. A bit worrying if it REQUIRES that I have also found that my Power Magic for Blackvue no longer shuts power off after the configured 72 hours but does power off when voltage drops below the set 12v. One of the reasons why I decided to leave the charger on daily during Spring/Summer as well. The standard battery clearly isn't enough by the sounds of it. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

My L494 is going in on Friday as the stop start has stopped working ,if I do a 300 mile trip it still doesn’t work, I have a plug in volt meter and it’s showing 14.5. -14.9 all the time and on a long journey.I don’t use climate or never go out using my lights so it has plenty of time to fully charge I will report back next week

Well dealer had my car Friday and got a phone call to say that the stop start battery was F- - - - - ,new battery fitted now fine .I did get the old one back . I don’t use the S S unless the traffic is at a standstill for a long time

Phoned LR warranty today about paying for a stop start battery which has failed they said there was not a chance of getting my money back ,even if the car was only 12 moths old they said it was not covered FFS
