to those with 2020 defenders, how long did your battery last? I get the low battery warning every time. Hence, I connected it to the battery tender and will see if the overnight charging will fix it. If not I guess it is due for a new one.

 

5-6 years out of a battery on one of these sounds pretty good, newer cars go through batteries a lot faster, there's just so many electronics nowadays.

 

Original battery on my 2020 Defender 110 X lasted 5 years and 3 months, 63 months from build.

Build Date = Oct 2020
Delivered to Dealer = Nov 2020
Sold = Jan 2021
1st Low battery warning = Nov 2025
Replaced battery = Jan 2026

Not bad on mine!

 

I just charged it overnight and the tender still shows charging(not fully charged). after I disconnected it, the low battery warning disappeared. I might have to schedule it next week.

 

I replaced mine after 4½ years as a precaution. It was still working fine at the time and still is - I keep it in the garage as a spare and charge it occasionally. It’s the factory Exide battery.

 

Original battery in a 2020? Consider yourself lucky, my 2022 is on its 3rd battery.

 

I just recently replaced the battery on my 2022. I'd say you've had some good luck if the battery in your 2020 made it this far!

 

On my original battery 2020 Defender X date code on my battery was built on the 36 week of 2020.

Build date on my Defender is December of 2020.

It finally got fully charged!
