Battery removal and replacement
WARNING
ALWAYS remove the starter key before
disconnecting the battery. Failure to do this
could cause a failure of the airbag SRS.
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.
To prevent a short circuit, ALWAYS
disconnect the negative (‘-’) cable first and
NEVER allow the battery terminals or vehicle
leads to make contact with tools or metal
parts of the vehicle.
CAUTION: DO NOT reverse the polarity of the
battery - the electrical system may be damaged
if the battery leads are connected to the wrong
terminals.
CAUTION: Keep the battery upright at all times
Before disconnecting the battery, disarm the
alarm, and ensure that the starter switch and all
electrical equipment is turned off.
-
damage will be caused if the battery is tilted
more than 45 degrees.
CAUTION: DO NOT run the engine with the
battery disconnected, or disconnect the battery
whilst the engine is running.
To remove: disconnect the negative (‘-’) cable
first and then the positive (‘+’) cable. When
reconnecting, connect the positive cable first
and then the negative cable.
Battery disposal
To release the battery from the vehicle, undo
the nuts securing the battery clamping plate
and remove the clamping plate.
Used batteries should be recycled.
However, batteries are hazardous - you
should seek advice about disposal from a Land
Rover retailer or your local authority.
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 over tighten.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
