the standard battery to be only just good enough in this respect we cannot recommend the STXR9A as an alternative.

We have however, tested a Lucas 12STXW11 as fitted to the Jaguar car and find this very promising, we are arranging for further tests to be carried out on this battery
We are returning the 9 plate battery under separate cover marked for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
