Default 2018 jaguar xe 3.0 35T portfolio limited edition battery problems

Does anyone know a replacement battery for a 2018 jaguar-xe 3.0. I called the dealer and the gave me battery size 7H AGM. But I'm unsure what that means. Can anyone help with a cheaper alternative then going to jaguar as the autoparts stores I call say there computers don't show a battery for this car.

Easy: 7H is a battery size. AGM means “absorbent glass mat” - in other words a battery type which does not have liquid acid. These batteries can be found anywhere that sells automobile batteries!

IMPORTANT: new batteries need to be fully charged, repeat, fully charged before installation. So regardless of where you buy the battery, insist that they charge it fully before installing. If they tell you it is already charged, ask for a confirmation on a battery analyser. If the report is that the battery is GOOD, that is NOT good enough. GOOD is not the same as fully charged! Modern cars need fully charged batteries to power the multiple electronic modules. When the battery charge drops, very strange symptoms appear.

IIRC several members have purchased the correct battery from Walmart or Costco.
Also, a few members have said that almost all of these batteries available for sale in the US are pretty much the same battery as they are almost all made by Johnson Controls.
