Problem is it could be any one or more of dozens of different things causing the drain so not at all easy to find.
You need to take the car to a good mechanic or an auto electrician to diagnose and find out what exactly is causing the drain, then with any luck it will be an easy fix.
It would also be good if you could take the car to someone who has this nifty gadget: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...9/#post2369480

Battery disconnect....
Valerie, you only have one battery on the 2017. Disconnect the ground lead to the battery, either at the battery terminal or where it's bolted to the floor under the cubby tray (whichever is easiest for you). Leave disconnected for 10-15 seconds. Whether the bat. control module (BCM) needs to be reset or not, it's a good place to start there. If that doesn't eliminate the low battery warning coming on the next day, then it is likely a bad battery. I am convinced that the need for a tender on these cars is an urban myth unless you are putting the car in storage for several months.. Never had a battery problem, even after letting the car sit for several weeks at a time while I've been on travel or stuck at home. Resetting the BCM after each time someone accesses the OBD connector is the key.

Thank you Mr Oz....I appreciate your assistance and knowledge concerning Jaguar F Type! I had removed the "box" only to find that the designated placement of ground bolt was a hole covered with Jaguar white factory assembly tape. Apparently on this 2017 V6S Vert.....the ground cable comes off the battery top directly Starboard (straight right) and under the upper "shelf" of trunk liner!! I could not trace further as I broke a plastic panel button in the process....has anyone with a 17 convertible done this install??
Thanks , Spark

While on the subject of a possible new battery for the F-Type, I checked a link I have to one of the very few Oz sellers of a suitable AGM battery.
It seems the price has risen just a tad in the last three months!

A bit expensive, but on the plus side it has a full 2-year warranty. Gee, I wonder if this $4000AUD battery would work in Canada? All I could get for my F-Type here was a $300 AGM with a 4-year warranty.
