Land Rover Freelander 2 Battery: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

On the Freelander 2, a drain has genuinely been documented traced specifically to central locking use on related models, with a significant draw persisting afterward.

OEM Part Number: LR091092

Genuinely useful to know: a LandyZone forum thread confirmed the difference between Lucas 096 (278mm) and Lucas 110 (315mm) types is purely length and Ah capacity, with the larger 110 generally used on Start/Stop-equipped cars — and separately, an owner directly confirmed with Exide (who manufacture the genuine LR-branded battery) that they only supply LR-branded units as original equipment on new cars, not as aftermarket replacements.

Standard (non-Start/Stop), confirmed genuine reference	Lucas Type 096, 278mm length, 80Ah, 800A (EN)
Start/Stop-equipped, genuine reference	Land Rover OEM: LR091092 — AGM, Lucas Type 110, 315mm length
Important	The Freelander 2 has genuinely high electrical demand — always fit the largest capacity that fits your tray, and AGM specifically for Start/Stop cars.

The Part Everyone Blames First, Not Always Correctly

A car that won't start gets blamed on the battery more often than any other component, and it's right often enough to make that assumption a reasonable first check. But it's not always the actual cause, which is worth knowing before spending money on a replacement that doesn't fix anything.

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.

What It Does

The 12V battery provides the power needed to start the engine and runs electrical systems when the engine isn't turning. On cars with stop-start technology, the battery works much harder than on older designs, since the engine switches off and restarts far more frequently — which is exactly why these cars need a specific AGM or EFB battery type rather than a standard unit.

If the battery keeps going flat, this is genuinely worth knowing: documented cases on related Land Rover models describe a drain traced specifically to use of the central locking system, with a significant draw persisting well after the doors were locked or unlocked.

A genuinely useful finding worth knowing about a misleading symptom: worn starter motor bearings can, in documented cases, allow the starter rotor to short to earth, producing symptoms that look exactly like a dead battery even though the battery itself is genuinely fine.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that if your car uses an AGM battery, a standard lead-acid charger can genuinely destroy it through overcharging, worth confirming you have the correct charger type.
