C2D47174 is not available for North American X150 models because it is part of the Pedestrian Protection System, which is standard equipment in Europe but is not available here. See Post #48: Pedestrian Protection System Warning ⚠️.

Does anyone else care to discuss the possibility that the sound bat might be the cause of so many dead batteries?
I never considered the clunk sound of the locks should also have a 'chirp'
Mine has never chipped and the battery has always been a monitored concern for myself. (Watching it slowly drop.)

i humbly disagree. If the car was in convenience mode for 20 mins and if that caused the battery to drain to 5v, the battery was on its last legs anyways.
Furthermore, your particular car does not call for an AGM battery. No, I am not saying that would be the cause of the failure.
But you could save some money and put the specified battery in the car. And get the same life out of it.

Very often the problem with the XK are dead, dying, or low batteries. If you have a wet cell battery they will not take this abuse and will have to be replaced. But an AGM can take much more abuse and fully recover from it. So where is the savings in wet cell? If I recall AGM can drop to 10% and wet cell to 70% without damage.
