Default Battery question

Hello I am new here but I have a question.
Does anyone know if I an use the same car battery for an X type and an XK8? Would it fit both cars or would the one from the X type at least jump start the XK8? Best place to get one?
Hope that all makes sense.

Welcome to the forum Jagchelle,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Do you have a running X-Type and a non-running XK8?

There's a recommended procedure for jump starting Jaguars to avoid frying sensitive electronic components. Tell us a little more about the problem and you'll get the right advice.

Graham

Welcome.

Graham has basically nailed the answer.

I would get a battery for each car, the correct one obviously, and a battery minder/tender for the little used car.

As to suppliers, that would depend on where you call home, might pay to add that to your signature.
