LR3/Disco 3
Battery and Cables
GENERAL
The battery is located between the bulkhead and the secondary bulkhead, in a protective box, on the passenger side. It
sits in a tray and is secured with clamp plates and bolts.
The battery terminal posts allow for the battery cables to be connected with clamp type connections. The battery positive
terminal uses a pyrotechnic attachment, which detaches the battery cable in the event of a crash of a severity to trigger
the airbags. For additional information, refer to

All models are fitted with Delphi lead-calcium, maintenance free battery. Each battery is similar in construction with the
battery rating varying according to application. There are two different battery sizes:
H7 - All petrol variants H8 - TdV6
H8 - TdV6
The battery uses 'calcium expanded' technology, which has both positive and negative plates with grids expanded from a
strip lead-calcium alloy.
The battery is semi-sealed. Each casing has a vent to allow for thermal expansion and to vent oxygen and hydrogen
gases, which are produced under certain charging conditions.
