Also Stuart is correct re hot/cold but he may not appreciate that VERY high temps are unheard of in the UK (despite me saying earlier that over 75f was rare in the UK) whereas some US states see regular 100f temps, so I don't believe that train f thought holds here.
Since your battery is under warranty change it out, since it's at n cost to you

My 4yr old Bosch is running at 12.9v tested across the terminals,,, but your CTEK supposedly already ordered should be with you soon

When starting my 09 XK it initially when cold cranks slowly for the first second or two then cranks normally and starts. However sometimes when hot it cranks over really slowly as if the battery is flat (and slow enough to make me think its not going to start) and then starts this happened earlier today. I drove about 10 miles, turned engine off for about 10 minutes then pressed the starter and it cranked over really slowly and started, i let it run for about 15 seconds then turned off again and it then started normally. I replaced the battery about 10 months ago so I know the battery is OK plus I am not getting not getting any on screen low battery warning messages.
Any feedback will be appreciated and thanks for reading

My slow drain is the consequence of our unfavorable driving profile, very short trips locally that don't replenish the battery on it's own.
