Thread: Best go to battery for D3

Here are the specs from the first edition workshop manuals for both D3 and D4:
(and the 2016 edition for D4 shows the same doc like the first for D3 )

Tim,and others have told me it can't be done,with the D4 2.7.
He also recently said on here D4 2.7l has same charging system as D3.

I am 99% sure my OEM battery was not AGM,as LR said when they replaced it under warranty, the new one is now AGM,and will last longer.

Have you seen yours charge at higher than 14.0V?

The 3.0l will charge higher,14.8,etc,it has a BMS designed for AGM.

Ran at 14.3v for a while last night after having done some ECU updates.... didn’t stay there long..

Factory now spec the AGM....

First edition Encyclopedia also said Pluto is a Planet

The highest i have ever seen mine at was 14.1V,after a long run,and weather was very cold,around 9 degrees from memory.

I will have another look at the CCF.

Maybe i missed something

I didnt contest what you said i've just copy/pasted what's in the official documents and as i said the 2016 edition for D4 is exactly like the first edition for D3...from official LR Topix site... show me a official LR document with that AGM battery, not what some sellers are recommending

How about what dealers are fitting for warranty claims or OEM

unfortunately i know for sure that there are too few real "main dealers".... most of them are backyard shops who have a franchise claiming main dealership and they dont give a sh*t about the vehicles, you are right , they are simply "dealers".... and i really hope you'll not deal with them on a warranty claim whatsoever
