Btw wouldn't it be nice if there was a battery/voltage condition monitor display in the dashboard? I get the low battery warning and will now contact LR for a replacement on my 2021 X-Dynamic HSE P400. I only have 23k miles, but I get this warning frequently.

I have the extended warranty so I would assume (hope) that this should be a no-brainer.

At 35K miles on our 2021 the battery was also done. However, according to the dealer it passed some mandatory battery charge check required by JLR. So I had to pay to replace mine even though it was still under warranty. Hopefully you have a better experience at your dealer.

Quite honestly there is sooooo much useless tech in modern cars, very little obviously useful tech. Like the "check engine light." What is up with that? Let's see, the car can go over the internet and get the current weather, but not give you any coherent idea what the "Check Engine" warning is all about. Let me check, what might impact me more: afternoon showers or an impending transmission failure? So yes a voltage indication would have been semi-basic, especially for such a "field capable" vehicle, especially one that drains the battery each and every time you open the door. I have had to do bonehead engineering to get that and put a USB device that happens to have a voltage indication on it. It is so cheap to do that nearly all $10 USB plugs have it now. It would have been a no-brainer to put it on the Pivi, heck even my airplane has a volt and amp on the computer screen.
