Battery charging 2008 convertible XK 4.2.

Can you recommend a charger and can the jump-start points in the boot be used for charging, rather than exposing the battery?

Probably the best is a CTEK MS7.0 Charger and Conditioner. Used by many on this Forum. I have one personally for use on my S-Type, which can prove to be heavy on battery discharge when not in use. It seems many Jaguars suffer with this same problem and lack of battery power leads to many problems. I put mine on the car at least once per week and it keeps the battery in great condition.

I have purchased the CTEK item that is installed in the boot and you then just plug the charger into it. Well worthwhile investment as it then does not need any faffing around with jump; leads etc. Incidentally , if you buy the MS 7 or MS 10 they also can act as a supply for jump starting.

Best Wishes and Regards, John

Thanks John, that's very helpful. For now, can the jump-start points in the boot be used for charging, rather than exposing the battery?

Yes they can Lewis.

Brilliant, thanks Jim - bought the CTEK 7 and will charge now.
