Battery , not Jag but
So yesterday I moved my Lexus out to take the Jag down for a round of golf. Everything was good with the 2010 Lexus as usual and I just moved the car out to the front driveway. Took the jag and by the way the phone didn't dock again. Car sees my phone but won't dock. This is something I am talking with the dealer and is intermittent. Back to the Lexus so when I returned home and parked the Jag on the lift I started the Lexus and my phone wouldn't link. I then went to back up the car and the rear camera didn't work . I also went to get into the trunk using the trunk release button in the car and it wouldn't work. So I then thought the problem might be the battery which was the original 2010 with 43K miles on it. I put the 10 amp charger on it and needle popped to around 8 amp charge rate. So did a load test and battery read bad. Put a new battery in and everything is good again. So 6 years was pushing it. Now I need to get the Jag phone problem fixed.

Do you keep the Jag on a battery maintainer with the doors locked while garaged? If not, I recommend the CTEK MUS4.3 available from Amazon to keep it fully charged, which will probably extend its life and eliminate all of the electrical gremlins. I know that you're aware of this, just not sure if you use one.

I would put that into the normal wear and tear category, I guess that is useful to mention but a battery failing after 6 years is just to be expected. After 5 you are on borrowed time!
My factory installed jetski battery lasted 7 and a half years, now that was a miracle. Considering most get one or two years out of theirs!
