Before you buy any battery be sure it will fit your truck. Measure the old battery and ensure you get one with the terminals on the correct sides or ends.

Look in RAVE and see what battery type/size/power they recommend. With batteries you usually get what you pay for cheap batteries usually have shorter lives. Batteries of all types and costs are a lottery, some last a year or two and others last 10 - 15 years, depends how lucky you are.

 

1140 CCA @ 32° and 950 CCA @ 0°

Fits nicely. Going to add another battery, similar to this one...as a camping/winching backup. Probably going to mount it in the footwell area of back seat, with an isolation switch.

For anyone who has actually swapped batteries on a Disco 2..... what did you use as a battery memory . saver? I assume disconnecting a battery completely would create an insurmountable amount of problems... with ECU, etc., etc....
I am thinking a just bridging a 12 V battery from a kid's car and bridge it with crocodile clamps ..... I read that using a battery charger, even as low as 2 amps is tricky for the electronics to survive... ???

 

The only thing you have to change is the heater control from c to Fahrenheit when changing out a battery,

 

I too wonder about a battery saver. I have a custom audio system from the PO. I am afraid of unplugging the battery and then having to reset the audio with an anti-theft code.

 

Just the clock and climate control in my experience.

 

Walmart.
About $110 and works fine.

 

I grabbed a Duracell Marine/RV battery at sams club in Group 34 size & I like the extra post for hooking up my winch. 119.00 out the door.

 

Why not just get the radio code from a Land Rover dealer in advance? I think they can provide it based on the VIN.

In my case, I've never needed the battery code even though I have it. Another member here said that the radio needed to have been set up to require the code for it to be needed. That means that the code was never enabled on my truck.

Other than the possibility that you might need a radio code, the A/C F° vs. C° setting and the clock are the only things that need to be reset if the battery is disconnected. Oh yeah, the trip odometer resets to 0.0 miles too.
