How do I get to my battery (killing ECO)
I've got a 2017 Base Coupe. Could someone please tell me how to get to my battery and get rid of the engine start / stop?
I've searched and looked in the manual, but didn't find anything (not to say that it isn't there) about where the battery is and how to get to it. Yeah, it's somewhere back there, and I'd go in and rip stuff out until I found it, but that doesn't always end well ;-)))) so I thought I'd let my rookie stripes show and ask.
Thanks in advance!

The car has 2 batteries from what I understand. I assume you are referring to the big battery? It is located in the trunk on the left side under the panel. Not hard to take off, just be careful when doing so.
As for the Eco mode, make sure the light is not turned on on the button illustrated below.

On your MY 2017 there is only one battery, see here for the procedure to permanently disable the stop/start: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...attery-146010/

is there a trick to get the deep tray out? I can lift the tray for maybe an inch but then it snags on something. I've tried lifting it from each of the four sides but have been unable to get it out. My eco mode doesn't work and I'm wondering if the previous owner disconnected the cable from the small battery.

Lift/tilt the front edge out first, then slide the whole thing towards the front of the car about an inch, then lift it out.
