My 2009 original battery is dying out and I have to change it. When trying to find an exactly the same one, the JLR told me that they changed the type of the battery and they do not produce that any more: Varta, 90Ah, 950 Amps, old code YGD500130.
I red on the forum that the different types of batteries corresponding to the new codes of JLR can damage the alternator.
Please advise me what battery to buy. I am attaching a photo of the old original one...
Thank you very much!
