What was the nature of the breakdown that cause the main battery to fail as you could just get a starter battery pack from the likes of Noco? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Left the car for a few hours and when I came back it was complety dead with just a clicking when trying to turn over. Wouldn't jump of a booster pack either but fire up straight away when I replaced the battery. I did receive some answers on here about it being an issue with the starter that can be bypassed with some DIY wiring but it's never had a problem starting up until then and hasn't had one since the new battery has been fitted. |

No nothing now for a few months but it's a bigger battery than the original and it's made me a bit wary of doing big trips incase it happens again. The battery that was on there was also only a few months old. |

Was the battery you replaced the correct type ( AGM) ? I fitted a new one 2 years ago and have never had a problem even when regularly leaving the car for weeks between use.I have the Noco as backup but have never needed it. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I’ll second the comments wrt LLR; I bought a very expensive reversing camera upgrade as I was short of time for doing one myself. When it came it was mis-wired and I had to redo it myself anyway. TDV8 4.4 2012 |

I fitted a second auxilary battery, Second battery in boot supports all systems when ignition off, main starting battery for starting/running isolated when ignition off, reconnects when ignition on via a 200amp relay, original heavy duty cable direct to starter still in place, only the system connection isolated, so ZERO drain on main starting battery, both charge with split charging wiring when running, and 13.9 lovely volts. Fitted a digital voltmeter in place of analogue clock, which I've kept, as android head unit has Internet time aligned display in any case.. Second battery connected with an 80amp resettable trip in-line to protect vehicle loom...

JoshVogue94, Just do it yourself, no need for overpriced kits. The space in the rear RHS under the fuse box is perfect. In the bottom is a protruding bolt, cut that flush. The loom can lift up and over the fuse box to ensure no rubbing. Earth wire is simple, Positive needs a 100ah resetting fuse and a voltage sensing relay. A bit of decent sized wire and connect it to the Poss on the fuse box.
