Battery advice please
Hi guys,
Would this be an acceptable OE replacement for the main battery?
S5A13 12V 019 AGM Stop Start Car Battery by Bosch
Jag $tealer wants to charge me £240.00 + tax AND fitting at £90.00 + tax
Total an eye watering £396.00 or about $600 USD
Buy this one fit myself half the price! Thanks for your advice in advance guys.

DIY is always cheaper and you also know it was done correctly and you won't have any new scratches on your car...unless you are clumsy.
Oh, almost forgot...seeing how you are on that side of the "Pond", be sure to ask them for a "Right-hand" battery.

Will pick up some striped paint at the same time. I may also enquirer about a long wait!

Hmm, I was just looking through OzXFR's shop manual, as my battery will probably be replaced in the next year or two. Found this...
If a new primary battery is fitted to the vehicle, the BMS control
module will require re-calibrating using a Jaguar approved diagnostic
system.

The BMS self-calibrates during the first two or three drives after installing a new battery or after disconnecting then reconnecting the existing battery.
I have disconnected and reconnected my battery two or three times now without any attempt to recalibrate the BMS using SDD and never had a single battery or electrical system problem.

Good to hear. I read about the self calibration in your manual. The section on the battery, charging, and all the crazy subsystems is pretty interesting.
If you're an engineer, or really bored.
