Battery removal and replacement
WARNING
Replacement batteries
Only fit a replacement battery of the same type
and specification as the original - other
batteries may vary in size or have different
terminal positions which could cause a fire
hazard when connected to the vehicle’s
electrical system.
•
ALWAYS remove the starter key before
disconnecting the battery. Failure to do
this may cause a failure of the airbag SRS.
•
Do not reverse the polarity of the battery -
the electrical system may be damaged if
the battery leads are connected to the
wrong terminals.
Battery disposal
Used batteries should be recycled.
However, batteries are hazardous - you
should seek advice about disposal from a Land
Rover dealer or your local authority.
•
•
Keep the battery upright at all times -
damage will be caused if the battery is
tilted more than 45 degrees.
DO NOT run the engine with the battery
disconnected, or disconnect the battery
while the engine is running.
‘Quick release’ battery cable
Before disconnecting the battery, disarm the
alarm, and ensure that the starter switch and all
electrical equipment is turned off.
To remove: disconnect the negative (‘-’) cable
first and then the positive (‘+’) cable. When
reconnecting, connect the positive cable first
and then the negative cable. Do not allow the
battery terminals to make contact with metal
parts of the vehicle.
To release the battery from the vehicle, undo
the nuts securing the battery clamping plate
and remove the clamping plate.
When replacing, ensure the battery is fitted the
right way round (terminal posts towards the
rear of the vehicle) and that the clamping plate
is secure. Tighten the clamping plate nuts until
the clamping plate is free from movement, but
do not overtighten.
H3579
In some markets, the negative (‘-’) lead is fitted
with a ‘quick release’ terminal connection. Turn
the handwheel anti-clockwise to disconnect the
negative lead.
