Hi Guys,

i own a 2017 Jaguar F type V6s with about 40k miles.

i am wondering if I can use a Boosch Lead battery in my F type?

the picture is attached.

 

You can use any AGM battery because that is what the charging system is set for.

 

The lead battery in the attached picture isn’t AGM, so was wondering if it can replace the AGM since it has same rating.

 

Possibly…but as I wrote, the charging/monitoring system in the F-Type is set up for AGM batteries, not traditional wet batteries. So yes, the battery pictured will function in the car but the charging system may or may not charge it appropriately. Bext to stick with OEM specifications.

 

My research says the Bosch S5 is AGM? I replaced my 2016 battery with an Antigravity H8/Group-49 Car Battery and have never looked back....Love it.....

 

thanks all I will give it a try and share feedbacks

 

My research says otherwise, that it is a flooded cell (wet) lead acid battery, see here: https://www.supplyvan.com/bosch-s5-0...00ah-830a.html
Note where the specs page says "Technology: wet".

 

For critical specs, I always use the manufacturer's site. Resellers frequently have errors in their ads, due to copying page content from one to another and frogetting to change everything.
