I’ll go with the pictures as in the “ working in the engine bay thread “. I was basing my posts firstly on those pictures of EFB batteries then others were saying AGM So I deferred. I’ll stay quiet now until I see a finished product 🙏🏼
It's a roller coaster...

I was punching the air when I read they were AGM, swearing when I heard they'd been "downgraded" to EFB.

The reality is Ineos could shave a little off their production costs and fit bog standard lead acid batteries. We won't know until we take delivery and whatever they are I'll still be smiling.

I suspect too....

_That's_ what we get up in the morning for!!
Bet I don't care a Sh*! if it's AGM or EFB for the first 20000km. And should I, I'll change it.
CONTRACTS + DELIVERIES PLEASE!!

As an aside, how does one jump start a vehicle with an inboard battery?

I think you've got choices.

Under the bonnet there's a big positive post with a red cover.

Open rear passenger door for direct access to battery.

Front or rear high load sockets with a set of these:

Very nice. Hopefully I only find myself helping others.

Not too sure until I get the vehicle. But maybe able to make some leads up to fit the high amperage ouler point under the bonnet as per Grenadier pocket guide or wire up some leads and an Anderson connector as I have in my defender for that very purpose. Never used them for jump starting myself only others.

A bit off topic:

Again, I see the same recurring design flaw of almost all jumper cables. Why are positive and negative cables not manufactured with different lengths?

That would certainly avoid some short circuits

Nice picture. Petrol or diesel ?
I actually don't know ~ everything's quite well hidden and I need to spend more time on my engine recognition silhouettes to tell the difference.

Isn't avoiding short circuits all about the sequence you connect your cables rather than the length of any cable?

@DCPU nice implementation and pictures. When we all get our vehicles I’m sure we come up with many ingenious and concrete ideas which wires and plugs to fit here and there. Very much looking forward to this.

I think it's the Diesel. Coudn't detect the part marked below on B58 but on B57 web pictures.
And some other parts (tubing) suggest the same.

That might be the adaptor pipe with charge-air temperature sensor.

Looking through my photos, is the air intake completely differently for the petrol and far more visible across the front of the engine?

I like the idea of that positive battery post. Is it there purely as a means of jump starting yourself or another vehicle ?

Never thought about this, but you are definitely right: very simple and much safer! (y)

Exactly. And as you know, never splice + and - wires at the same level , for the same reason.
And one thing that really makes me cringe is seeing exposed + terminals in engine bays (mostly older cars but sometimes people pull off the protector caps)
