I cannot confirm that your Autel will do what you want although it seems likely. You will however have to buy a Jaguar application which will be valid for a year. Cost about £20, I think.

Autel works with my 2019 xf.
Haven’t tried the battery functions.

This is a common problem on the XF and has nothing to do with the new battery - it can happen anytime the battery is disconnected and reconnected. The garage is correct about using SDD to fix the central locking problem by running the Immobilisation routine.
(he should consider himself lucky that its only the central locking not working, sometimes disconnecting the battery on that model of Jag can corrupt the BCM/CJB which is a lot more complicated to put right).2010 D4 TDV6

I don't think resetting the battery is the problem as it will be done automatically after the car has been driven a few miles. I have never found it necessary on a Disco.
Try using the spare remote and/or the AP200, it won't do any harm.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
