Thread: Puma battery life

Yep you're dreaming... two years is the norm..

It all depends on how you use you batteries...

Treat it like you would any other car and it'll last for a long while. Start hanging a fridge on it or other low power drain items and the life is dramatically reduced.

Also the quality of people's aftermarket / DIY wiring often leaves a lot to be desired (even some garages wiring is rubbish) and introduces earth leakage. This also helps to kill a battery.

I have an Odyssey PC1700 FMJ in my Defender (actually its been in 4 of them), bought it in 2002, still going great! I've also had Odyssey PC1700's, they don't last as long as the FMJ's.

Well i could look in the handbook,but if it is with the vehicle, in the center console,it is currently on the OTT on the Cape.....

Back to dreaming

You guys are right sorry.. 3 years.. or 100,000 kms.. I was confused as I've almost done that amount of kms which means that my warranty is out after two years..

Lots of k's on the M1.....

Actually 2yr/60K warranty was on most if not all LR's until around MY01

It then went to the industry standard of 3yrs/100,although with some manufacturers it is creeping to 5yrs.
