Evoque battery

After 5 years of ownership, finally is time to change battery. I was told to use only land rover parts, but was quoted $330 for a battery. Do I really need to use factory battery or I can use aftermarket too.

Thanks

I used an aftermarket one with no problems, make sure its same spec.

Did you have to go to dealer to replace? Was told that it needs to use computer to update and show is new battery

no I used my local indi 4x4 dealer, most dealer computers will update a evoque with no problems.
