Start-stop on a Rover
Recent Rover models with start-stop need an EFB or AGM battery. We match the technology your car was built with, because a conventional battery will not last in a start-stop system.

A Rover that sits unused is a Rover with a draining battery. These cars keep alarm, tracking and comfort systems awake while parked, and Abu Dhabi heat speeds up the loss. If yours has gone flat after standing, we test it first, because a deep-discharged AGM battery can sometimes be recovered with a proper charge.

FAQ
Short, direct answers. Message us if yours is not here.
On most recent Rover models, yes. The battery monitoring system tracks ageing and needs to be told a new battery is fitted. We reset it with a diagnostic tool on site. Older models without this system need only a correct like-for-like replacement.
Yes. Cars with a boot-mounted battery have jump-start points under the bonnet. We power your Rover from there so the locks and boot release work again, then test the battery and replace it if it has reached the end of its life.
Drive it regularly for a proper run, or connect a maintenance charger if it will stand for more than a week or two. A Rover draws a small current all the time. If it still goes flat quickly, the battery or a drain needs checking.
