OEM Part Number: J9C5445

Genuinely important to know, P300e PHEV: the 15kWh high-voltage drive battery is a completely separate component from the standard 12V starter battery covered here — don't confuse the two. The 12V system also includes a genuine battery monitor sensor on the negative terminal that needs replacing alongside the battery on some builds.

Jaguar E-Pace Battery: The Part Everyone Blames First, Not Always Correctly

When a Jaguar E-Pace won't start, the battery is the first suspect more often than anything else, and it's right often enough that checking it first is a reasonable move. It isn't always the actual cause though, which is worth knowing before paying for a replacement that solves nothing.

Before you buy: battery size, capacity and type (standard vs AGM/EFB for stop-start systems) vary by trim and engine. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Jaguar E-Pace Battery: What It Does

Starting the engine and running electrical systems whenever the engine isn't turning — that's the Jaguar E-Pace's 12V battery job. If it has stop-start, it works much harder than older designs, since the engine cuts out and restarts constantly, which is exactly why it needs a specific AGM or EFB battery rather than a standard one.

If you're facing a persistent battery drain, this is genuinely worth knowing: documented cases on related Jaguar models describe a software update genuinely curing a recurring battery drain problem, worth asking a dealer whether this kind of fix has been applied before assuming a hardware fault.

A genuinely alarming, honest account worth knowing about how extensive diagnosis can become: documented cases describe a dealership keeping a car for two and a half weeks before determining the main electronic control module wasn't switching off properly, with replacement requiring removal of the seats.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that a diagnostic code referencing a fault with the dual battery fuse box has been documented as a specific, real cause of drain on related models.
