Frequently asked questions
- It depends on the engine. Jaguar XK-8 owners mostly buy Exide AGM12-16 YTX16-BS 16Ah (59.30 €), Exide EA1000 Premium 100Ah (85.20 €) and Varta H3 Dynamic SLI 100Ah (110.95 €) from us. The table shows the recommended battery for each engine with its price (VAT included) and a link to its page; with your number plate or VIN we tell you the exact one in seconds.
- Between 95.20 € and 192.59 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
- By the registration year: Xk 8 Coupe (1996-2006); Xk 8 Convertible (1996-2006). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.
- Four to six years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last a little less in city driving because of the number of restarts, but they are built for that cycling. If the car sits for weeks or cranks slowly in the cold, have it tested.
- Standard delivery to mainland Spain and Portugal takes 1-2 working days; other EU countries 1-5 working days. Each product page shows the exact lead time and whether express delivery is available.
