New battery?
I'm not quite sure if this is the right thread, but I found this old battery in my dad's old car that's been sitting for about a year. I'm not very educated on electronics or batteries so would this work on the XJ? The one I have now is getting pretty old.

It's an Optima which is good.
Chances are it will fit in the stock tray, it only has 680CCA which is less than the type-34 battery my XJ has - but will definitely still fit.
They are all 12v, so as long as you are able to secure it, and the battery doesn't contact the hood - I think you should be good to go
100% make sure it is secure unless you want it to short out on the hood, and burn your rig to the ground. Good condition battery tray and hold-downs are cheap insurance against that
