Have you checked your open circuit voltage? You can check this underhood.

Yeah…. So…. Update. Got a 3 m cable, 100 amps cable. Car woke up! Trunk opened! No errors at first…. But a drained to 0 baterry! Tryed to start it with the little battery starter helpper. 600 amps boost an 1200 amps peak. Barely Tryed to move. Next steps. From a golf 5 running engines battery. Woke up…. But no start. Didn't even tried to move to much.
But now…. Started throwing errors. Brake, gear box….. And died the battery again!
Today or tomorrow will try with the Mercedes battery.…. 700 amps and around 500h operating battery! With 5 min conected before the start, and a revving 2.2 Mercedes, maybe it will start! If not…. Directly brand new battery.So…. 2 questions
1. Before the start….. Or trying to start it with the Mercedes bigger battery, while the batteries are connected, should I try to delete the errors? Or just start it like that. And see after? Because I have icarsoft and I can do that! So it starts.… or tries, without any errors?
And secondzzz….. If I can't start it, at all, and I get a new battery, again, I carsoft has a coding battery to the car option. Should I try to do that? Does it need coding? Or something? Because I can fizicly replace the old with the new, myself. But will it recognize it at first start.…. No problems later? I saw some gays talking about not starting after because its not coded to the car
Thanks

@danu99 You're in Bucharest, Romania and your XJ needs a new AGM battery. Watch the video before you try to do it yourself. Otherwise, you will damage the electronics. Good luck!

thanks. Great example. Thats …. Exactly how I did it…… less the grounding, final jumpstart, on the ground in the trunk and I did it in the negative from the battery.
So….. Its better to do it from the ground in the trunk? Rather then the battery?

Ps: mine didn't start because I know for a fact that I Tryed multiple times to start a dea battery of a friends Dacia Logan, and because it was flat battery it started really hard. But when I tried with the Mercedes, bigger battery and more power, started like a charm. So… difference in electrical output and battery and donnor car, on a flat battery, could make a really tuff start.
In my case today, I didn't tried too long. 2 times. I was alone, no one to revv the Donner car, so power only from idle. So I gave up. Lass power, not enough to feed the requirement to start the Jag. Mercedes, on 1500-2000 revs, after 2..3 minutes of all ready connected and transferred some power, should start. If not…… new battery, delivered to the door. About 150 euro bill.

About the power drain….. I am pretty sure its the interior lights. They can go on and off…. Randomly…. Iddle or driving.
But…… I don't understand how it can fliccker the interior light, when I lock the car and after I lock the car. And maybe with the car locked.
Can someone explain that? Thanks for the help

Because you did not follow the correct installation procedure, you may have damaged one or more modules. I recommend that you pay your Jaguar dealer to check your car.

Because you didn't do it exactly right, you may have damaged one or more modules. Time for the Jaguar dealer.

i undestood that. But…. In case of car robot starter power bank, that has short 10 cm cable, just enough for the 2 points of contact on the battery, how do you do it? It simply can't reach any point of minus on the chasys

Update. Nonsucces with the Mercedes powering either. Battery to spent!
Took the battery to the battery seller shop. 5, 2 volts I think.
Under charge with cables from the running Mercedes, only error left was the brake, reingaging the hand brake as pe dashboard said, deleted that error!
Nothing else to report!
The battery was an ultron, 95ah, 850a. About…180 euro new. German! Kind of weak baterry if you ask me! I wanted a varta, shop insisted ultron was better!……
Left the battery with them to recharge it, if possible! 3..4 days!

If… I have to buy a new battery, what do you recommend. In terms of power and brand.
95ah and 850 a is sufficient? Could be better? If supports better, what numbers of power?

Thanks for all the messages and info and ideas.

Ps: I really think the consumer that drained the battery is the interior lights. I saw the same problem on a xf, same touch interior lights. Contacts and wireing gone bad! Will look into it asap!

Varta and Exide have been working best for me.
Note: The interior lights are lit when door lock microswitch operates, so if you have had any issues with door locks i would start there.

sir…. The moment I powered the Jag with cables from the engine running Mercedes, and the dash powered up, the interior light started flickering.…!
Could there be a problem with the touch sensor situated in the interior lights over the main mirror?
A guy had onbyoutibe had a similar problem with a 2009 xf, and the fix was some cooper greese and cleaning the contacts of the touch light switch.
About the doors, I had some 1..2 errors about the confort/ restrain module of a door! But….i didn't bother with it. The close button of one of the rear handles does not work

End of problem. Battery recharged at the battery dealer! Mounted on the car. Started like a charm.
Deleted errors. Restarted the car. Only one error left. A old one. Something with climate.…. Will look it up! I guess its the board on the radiator inside the dash!

So…. Here is one idea for you guys.
I had some errors, one climate sist, one abs, one hand brake…., to me some module in some door, ……. Unessencial systems! No errors on ghearbox or engine!
These…. Errors, could be the electrical problem generator that drained the battery? They might of acted randomly….. Draining battery when locked and parked? They just simply appeared, car worked ok! But they ware there.
Should I check every miscellaneous error I had on any miscellaneous system it appears? Contacts? Plugs, wiring?

The most strange errors
U0415-00 invalid data from abs module
B12fe-13 intermittent : fan
B1d21-13 remote control switch
B11ed-87 electric heater control module
U0140-00 lost communication with body control module
U0156-00lost communication. With I formation ce ter A

Some disappeared! Never seen again. Some new ones appeared! Random systems. Never engine or gearbox.
Could it be one of the computers? Information centers? Plugs? Wiring? Localized at one computer?

I'd do a vehicle reset in SDD and see if they come back, not just a DTC clear.
