Tayna batteries have the battery you need methinks about half the price of Europarts?

Original Land Rover batteries are VARTA for the non AGM version and EXIDE for the new (MY2014-ON) car with Stop & Start Technology, AGM tecnology, obviously LR rebranded but still with the manufacturer name/logo printed .

Your infos show your D4 as MY2014, so your car should have the Stop & Start System. In this case you MUST use an AGM Battery and the best is the Exide EK950

https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/exide/ek950/



but, probably, you need to change also the Auxiliary battery (the small one) the Exide EK151

https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/exide/ek151/



If your car hasn't the stop & Start System, the EK950 is fine, but if you want to spend less, it's also fine the Exide EA1000, cheeper than the EK950

https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/exide/ea1000/



Remember that when you change the battery, the BMS must be reset with the IIDTool or the Land Rover diagnostic.
The BMS monitors the life (and therefore the expected decay) of the battery, if you install a new battery well charged without resetting the BMS, the car will not be able to manage it to the best of the charging potential.

Also remember that when you change the battery also changing the type, for example from Normal to AGM (or vice versa), first must be set the type of battery in the car's CCF (always using the IIDTool or the Land Rover diagnostic, editing the CCF file) and, subsequently, must be reset the BMS. This is due to the AGM batteries have different voltages and currents than normal ones (charging characteristic curves).

Recently bought a Halfords 019 AGM battery.
https://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-bl...-guarantee

I haven't got stop/start (MY12) but the original battery was an Exide AGM.
Battery is actually a Yuasa with 4 years guarantee - would you want to post a battery back to Tayna for a warranty claim ?
With access to a Halfords trade card you get 25% off, so £147.
