Hi All,

I think it's time for a new battery in my '96 XJS. Any suggestions where to get one that fits and has a vent tube? I live in the US by the way, which seems to limit things some.

Thank you,

Vent tube? Nahhh, you don't need that,

Seriously, size 48, highest cca rating you want to afford.

 

Hello Mike

This was a recent thread about batteries and the hole "venting" question.

I guess what I meant to ask was where can I buy a suitable battery? I had read through that other thread and the only person that actually said they got a new battery with a vent tube got it in the UK and I don't seem to be able to buy that brand here in the states. (Yuasa ybx 5000).

Thanks,

Interstate has a vented group 47. Most autoparts stores should carry a group 47 ( not 48, 47 is vented)

 

personally I like the optima red or yellow gel cell battery's. They dont off gas or leak. I have one in mine.

 

Well, that took me a while, but I finally have a Interstate MT-47 H5 in my XJS. Fits perfectly and has the vent tube. In fact I was able to use the white plastic vent elbow from the original Jaguar battery. I'm content. Thanks very much for the info.
