I bought a 2020 F pace last year and it has been a joy to drive. I keep my headlights and wipers on auto so they come on/off when needed. Been working great. This am I come out and in my garage, the tail & head lights are on and the car is dead. no lights in the interior at all. Luckily I do not lock it when it is in the garage .
Is this a normal behavior for an F Pace when the battery dies? The headlights don't even go off when I turned the switch from auto to OFF. Right now I have it on a trickle charger because I can't open the hatch to get at the battery.
I am unsure of how old the battery really is, so hopefully it is that simple. Have other here seen this happen? And does it usually mean the battery has reached EOL?
Thanks!

 

If it’s an original battery I’m sure it’s on its way out. You should have it tested. Need a good tester that can do AGM’s. They are born with almost a thousand CCA. When they get down to around 550 CCA’s the gremlins come out to play.

 

I will have it checked Monday. Sticker on battery(It says Land Rover battery on the side) says 7/22..so its just over 2 years old.

 

oh yeah - I got impatient and was able to jump start it off my 2010 Toyota Venza... Ha!

 

Two year old battery shouldn’t be giving you problems. Weird that it got one two years after build date. Do you drive it everyday? If not you should keep it on a maintainer like CTEK or Genius 2.

There may be something else going on. I wouldn’t hesitate to take it to the dealer, if you have a good one.

 

Headlights should not have stayed on all night and should respond to switch position (unless you meant parking lights because then I think there is a mode to turn one side of the lights on when parallel parking). Something is going on.

 

It's more or less a daily driver and today it started just fine. All seems to function properly from my perspective. I drove it to the store, shut it off and she started right back up after I was out of the store.
We are taking it directly to our Jag mechanic in the AM for a full checkout to be safe.

 

Once the battery starts to go it gets dicey.I live where it is hot almost all the time. 2021 SVR - first starting when I couldn't get a PiviPro (MY '21 and up) update as it would say not enough charge on the battery to do the update, Drove like crazy for several days, nope, not enough charge. Started putting it on a trickle NOCO using AGM setting every night for weeks. Still wouldn't update due to not enough battery charge. Then weird startup messages, "adaptive speed control unavailable" (can't prove this is just not correlation) at startup. Finally broke down and took it to the dealer. New battery covered under warranty. All good now, update worked, no more weird startup messages.
Receipt during that period when a lot of dealer's service/sales/finance systems were down due to a hack.

 

Had my Jag SME mechanic look at it. Electrical systems all normal ; no shorts or drains found. Battery was going ; below specs for voltage. New battery has been installed and it should be good to go now.
Thanks for all the advice folks.
