Had mine back the dealers, but could not find anything wrong. problem has also occured with the second D4 i bought as well.
have arranged for both to go back to dealers over xmas, to give them a better crack at the whip so to speak.
the problem only seems to occur if i use the park heater first thing. if you open the cr and allow just the system check to take place with out starting, there is no low battery warning.
can any one tell me what amp rating the batteries are in teh D4? i may look to get my own, but get something which way bigger that should be needed, to see if that helps the issue. Cheers

Same battery as D3 90Ah 950A, must be lead calcium. Best deal I got was from TLO! Problem is that he can't ship it using his couriers, so you'd need to arrange a D3 courier network delivery.

Hi
ok, have monitored this over the last week few weeks since the issue started. the problem only occurs in cold weather, i.e. temp below freezing point.
i have posted the same question in technical that i am about to ask here... can any one tell me if there is a different battery unit for vehicles sold in cold climates? if so, is there a part number? had sismilar issues on the first freelander my wife got, the problem was solved by the fitting of a "winter battery", which transpired to be waht was fitted to vehicles sold in a cold climate, simple, but worked. Cheers

Disco Steve
many thanks for the info. i think i will need to try and source a unit that will give a larger Ah that will fit in the space for the standard one. Cheers

Had the Low Battery Warning Message appearing at random throughout November and December but no starting problems until i left it for 12 days whilst on holiday
Came back and the thing was totally dead
Land Rover assist called out and restarted it
Lasted 2 days and dead again
Land Rover assist called out and i took it straight to the dealer who checked it over and replaced the battery
Lasted 2 days and dead agian
Land Rover assist called out and took it staright to the dealer where its been for almost a week now. 
Will keep you chaps updated when sorted
Note: One thing i did notice was that there was a strange noise coming from near the fuel cap when i used the rear door handle sensor button to lock the car - maybe there;s a central locking fault. 2007 RS4 Avant

Ok All
i have had the BMS module changed on my 2012 disco 4, and it appears to have solved the problem. i did get a low battery warning again yesterday, when i ran the park heater for the full 30mins, and the over night temp had dropped to -4 deg C, but all worked again fine this AM, looks like the problem is solved. Cheers

I have recently set up my C-tec charger to charge through the tow socket, as per Mr H's arrangement.
The charger did its stuff and I still had the low battery warning this morning, without using the park heater either.
I do wonder if the sensor monitoring battery state is sick?

| Low Battery message on Dash |
|
After leaving my D4 2010 garaged for some time and starting it up to move a short distance over a couple of days I managed to flatten the battery. D4 do not like this at all I recharged the battery and the car started no problems but the" Low battery start engine" message came up on the instumrnt cluster and also another mesage came up on the audio system display that you have 3 minutes before the system wil shut down.
I tried clearing all these faults to no avail.
The Battery was still perfect as I had it checked and was still capable of over 850CCa and 12.5 volts so it was the system giving these mesages.
I had to leave on a big trip to Cape York and everything except the message was working right so off I went.
I was no 600ks from home and it was disconcerting to have these messages coming up all the time when you are in the middle of Outback Australia . In desparation I rang my normal dealer and actually found someone that knew what they were talking about.
A hard battery reset, this went against everything that I knew about car electronics.
What you do is turn the car off . Disconnect the positive lead off of the battery and short it down to the negative post the battery with a jumper lead or even a smallpiece of 1.5mm wire. I checked before I did this with a meter and there was still 1.5 volts between the leads after the short of course there was 0 volts and the reset had taken place.
This totally resets all the electronics and I didnt even lose the Radio pins or even the stations.
No mare messages and everything work beautifully again.
