DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The battery has been designed specifically for Jaguar. It provides the high output which is required for this vehicle, but with a substantial saving in weight. It is a low maintenance battery, located on the right hand side of the luggage compartment floor.
The negative (Ground) lead is connected to the vehicle body. The positive lead is connected to a high power protection module; from here power is connected to the starter motor and distributed to other systems on the vehicle.
The high power protection module comprises two fuses, one of 500 amps and one of 175 amps.
To test the battery, follow the test procedure described in GENERATORS & REGULATORS .
Although these tests will not actually test the battery, they will confirm that the generator, regulator and connecting cables are working correctly and that consequently, the battery may be at fault. Alternatively, the tests may indicate that the fault lies in the generator, regulator or wiring and not in the battery.
