If its Stop/Start technology (a stupid idea from the outset), it'll be AGM.

The quoted price doesn't sound that unreasonable for a dealer supply and fit with no discounts.  Obviously more than I would want to pay, but then I'd do it myself.

It seems on the Jag forums, your average XJ owner thinks £600 is reasonable for a genuine battery (clearly badged as Varta), because the dealer knows best

Thankfully the mummy bus does not have start-stop.

AGM batteries are an absolute necessity with start/stop. A standard one would give you no end of problems. On modern cars, certain things will not operate if the battery is below 70/80%, start/stop being one of them. On wifey's s/s captur, things like air con, heated rear screen would not work if battery was below 80%.

Everything is stacking against the DIY'er for car work.

We used to just turn s/s off after starting up...PITA.

I thought stop/start function was covered by the second motorcycle-sized battery.

Or you could try fending for yourself for a change. Google is a massive resource.

Only in India.  Most have a single battery.
