Battery: Description and Operation

The battery has been designed specifically for Jaguar. It provides the high output which is required for this vehicle, but with a substantial saving in weight. It is a low maintenance battery, located on the right hand side of the luggage compartment floor.

The negative (Ground) lead is connected to the vehicle body. The positive lead is connected to a high power protection module; from here power is connected to the starter motor and distributed to other systems on the vehicle.

The high power protection module comprises three fuses, each of 250 A capacity. Two fuses are connected in parallel to provide protection for the starter circuit. The third one provides high level protection for fusebox supply circuits.
