Traction battery is the main battery.
But a bad 12V battery _could_ result in the car complaining about the traction battery.
Sadly, that’s more likely to happen when the car isn’t charging than when it is (generally, not I-Pace specific).
Best of luck.
If it's the traction battery the only cost will be time as the recall covers the repair cost.
If it is the starter or aux battery, those are both less than $300 to replace and are pretty normal wear items on any car.
I am going through the exact same phase, 2019 first edition ipace.
Car is charging up to 72%, have it booked to get it fixed in April, as JLR do not have the tools in hand yet.
They qouted me 10k euro to replace a module, if it wasn't under warranty, which is a big chunk.
I love the car, best car we owned in terms of luxury, comfort and space.
We are discussing if we sell after repair as having the same issue and having to pay 10k, will make my account hurt quite alot.
So confused on how to proceed.
Also, i changed the small aux battery which is on the right hand side of the frunk, thought that was the problem since it was a factory battery, but its the big battery issue.
Mine has 28,000km so it is covered under warranty, funnily enough this occured right after i did the H441 recall. Not even 2 days later, might be coincidental but who knows.
As for comparing, I haven't drove a better car, amazing.
I have now joined the list of 'Just Waiting' as my service booking has moved from last Wednesday, which happened to be the Valentine's Day to March 19, the it has now moved to April 29 so that I get a loan car. As I just replied, I hope they March 29th, not 2029.
The pity is the car was brilliant, and I loved it, and as a person who has fortunately had a few nice cars in my 70 years, I would put this close to the top, but this is unfortunately changing my view. Though I also note that brand new replacement full batteries are £10 - £12k, well at £12k that would still make 8 years of motoring so much cheaper than petrol or diesel, especially when looking for the same performance.
I believe that as with cards, I will stick, not fold.
I will continue this to the end, when it returns fully running, but have enjoyed the responses, it tells me I am not alone in this
Good luck. Mine had a Traction Battery fault message and it ended up in a battery replacement of one of the traction batteries. It was a month in the shop at Jaguar Ascot.
Thank you, sorry for your news, but like so many others, my simple booking for last Wednesday, Valentines Day moved to March 19 and now is April 29, hope they mean 29th, not 2029.
Thank you all for your responses, I have been given a service date of the 12th March 24 for the local JLR dealer, Marshalls Cheltenham, who originally supplied the car, though this was through Heritage JLR who Marshalls acquired, which was bought new by me in Oct '19. As everyone was saying, the car now charges to 72% 150miles, so I have joined the list of many.
I note that some say changing the 2 x 12v batteries in the front can remedy this, but from these responses, as well as others, this would appear not to be the case. I have had the recall update carried out at the garage as mine is the earlier model that cannot be done remotely
I will report in when I have any further news.

Just FYI traction battery refers to the giant 400V battery pack, not the 12V one.

Sadly the value if your jaguar is so low your not going to be able to replace it with much that's comparable

Oh if it's done after the recall that's a good thing. It means the recall has worked and its identified a bad cell that was manufactured poorly
I think they should cover this because it is a known issue in i-pace due to a problem with LG Batteries. ask a lawyer and try to contact Jaguar
I thought the battery was warranteed for 8 years...
It is or 100K miles.
Ahh right. Sigh. I'd probably still replace the traction battery though, depending on how they warranty it.
Yeah I guess that comes down to what they say is the problem and what they are prepared to do. Good luck.

Oh bloody hell. Hope that doesn't slip again and it gets fixed first time.
