    2019 Discovery Td6 HSE Santorini Black

    Last used the car 6th April and didnt try to start will 1st May. It started with some difficulty and spluttered into life but was ok afterwards. No low bat warning seen when I started though but it felt like the 'just' managed to startup Laughing

    mine has been used once maybe twice a week. Took it for a drive yesterday that was about 7 miles, and stop start functioned at a junction near the end of that journey so battery must actually be doing ok

    2020 Discovery SDV6 HSE Santorini Black

    Mine has had two replacement batteries, new alternator, full check on the wiring twice and numerous jump starts and LR assist call outs. Still get low battery warnings after less than a day parked up after 100 mile journeys. This has completely ruined our experience of LR, 75k car which doesn't start or doors and boot won't open. It fits our needs so well but can't put up with this so not sticking with LR after this one goes back.

    You need a decent auto-electrician to find the parasitic drain.

    No you need to find a local auto electrician who preferably works on JLR cars.

    The dealership probably just plugs it and looks for error codes.

    I have not used my D5 for almost 3 weeks at a time during lockdown without any battery issues. Strangely my Auto/Stop/Start function works within a mile of a cold start, but not after 100 miles of motorway driving - perhaps there are more polutants when the engine is cold and the system is `clever' enough to realise that.

    Only had my D300 a couple of weeks and I am getting the charge light stay on and warning on the screen until I have travelled a good few miles . Does not bode well for the future.

    2018 Discovery Si6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    Just came back from a 4 week holiday in the middle east.
    Drove the car 150 miles, along with the trailer, and left it in the airport carpark.
    Came back on Monday, and it started first time, no struggling nothing. Was expecting a low battery warning after 2 weeks, but nothing. Even the stop start worked straight away to my amazement.
    Car has the original battery, and was showing low battery warnings a week before we left, and the stop start never worked for months.
    I think leaving it in the open, with the supposedly scorching weather we have had in my absence, has helped, or due to no driving for 4 weeks, cars shut down totally and reset itself. Its a mystery Whistle

    Are you sure no one has been using it while you have been away. Sad

    Nope, as we had both sets of keys with us.
    Mrs. would never leave her car keys behind, nor would I, just for someone to joyride it in our absence. Read several horror stories recently. It's the first time we have done this, as usually get we get a taxi to the airport and back.

    I often work away for 3 or 4 weeks at a time. Never been a problem with battery, and I would have been surprised if there was really. It goes completely to sleep after a few days, and can no longer be contacted remotely by the app.
    If an individual car is having problems in that timescale, it has a problem that needs investigating and fixing.

    That explains why the app wasn't working when I was abroad then.
    It did work for the first few days initially, but nothing after that.

    My year old D300 regularly flashes up the Low Battery warning so I've got it booked in to the dealer in Inverness next week. Hopefully they'll be able to tell me why the battery is always draining and I'll get a new one out of it.
