F Type battery

Postby ianoliver57 » Sat Apr 22, 2023 9:26 am

After reading various bits of the on line manual, I am a bit concerned regards charging the battery. In the past, I have always used a Ctec charger, positive on the terminal and negative to a ground point with the battery in situ. However, the i guide says the battery MUST be removed before charging. Is this just JLR way of producing business for the main dealers, or, is there a genuine reason why the battery cannot be charged in the car?
Any thoughts?
