Find the right TD5 battery

Defender TD5 and Discovery 2 TD5 batteries are normally selected by starting performance, physical fitment and the electrical load placed on the vehicle. Match the battery to the vehicle first, then compare its dimensions, terminal layout, Ah capacity and CCA rating.

Job Best place to start Check before ordering
Normal starting duties Yuasa or Hankook starter battery Case dimensions, terminal layout, Ah capacity and CCA rating
Higher cranking performance Optima Red Top high-cranking AGM starter battery Physical size, terminal position, cable reach and battery retention
Starting with repeated accessory loads Optima Yellow Top dual-purpose AGM battery Intended main or auxiliary installation, capacity and terminal layout
Slow cranking or repeated flat batteries Battery condition and charging-system testing Battery health, cranking performance, alternator output and parasitic drain

Check TD5 battery fitment before ordering

Do not select a TD5 battery by voltage or engine name alone. The battery must fit the available space, connect to the existing cables without strain and provide enough cranking performance for the vehicle and its electrical equipment.

Vehicle
Confirm whether the battery is being fitted to a Defender TD5 or Discovery 2 TD5.
Physical size
Compare the battery length, width and height with the original battery and the available mounting space.
Terminal layout
Check the positive and negative terminal positions, post type and cable reach before ordering.
Starting performance
Compare the Ah capacity and CCA rating with the original battery and the demands placed on the vehicle.
