Charging a 2020 f-type battery ?
HI.
New guy, Looked in search . Could not find answer. I read the owners manual it says I should remove the battery to charge it ? This is my first Jaguar so not sure, never removed a battery before to charge it. Please advise me in the correct procedure. Any tips on battery charging would be apericated.
Thanks

A good battery maintainer, on the other hand, charges the battery very slowly at very low amps and no damage results. If you are not going to use the car for substantial distances weekly then you should install and use a CTEK or similar maintainer. The multiple modules in these cars require full voltage all the time (this is not a Jaguar thing - it is a fact of life with modern cars, especially luxury cars); if the battery voltage drops you will get a warning coming up but even before that you might experience bad behaviour in any of a number of systems (touch screen, warning lights, door handles, convertible roof...) - in all these cases the culprit is the poor underfed battery. If you are unaware of what I have just pointed out, your reaction might be that the ghost of Lucas still haunts Jaguar. It does not. There are multiple threads on the very easy intallation and use of the CTEK maintainers.

Joe: you need to read your manual more thoroughly. The battery in the F-type is located in the trunk, under the removable panel, left side. What is under the hood on the right side are the remote emergency charging points, the positive under the red cover, and the negative is a stud located a bit further back, but close by.

Yes, the problem is with the battery. This kind of problem can appear if the battery is in a bad condition, so it is discharging very fast. You can try to buy a new one or to recondition your old one, to see if it worth paying money on a new one. You can search on batterytools.net how to recondition your type of battery. I had a Lithium-Ion battery on my car, and after I reconditioned it, I understood that I don't even need to buy a new one, because all the problems I had with the electric system disappeared, so I saved some money.
