I've been told by an automotive electronics expert that once the system is discharged completely it's a good idea to insert a 9v battery for a moment before connecting the battery cables. I think he has a DC variable power supply to bring the computer back gently.
BTW, this guy's name is Tony Callas.

TBH i’m afraid to even change the battery on the thing.
I don’t know about other models from the era but the XK is notorious for issues relating to a disconnected or dead battery.
It’s not uncommon to have to have windows and seats recalibrated which unless you have the SDD software and Mongoose cable is a dealer job.
When i was shopping for the car i test drove 4. Each one had had a dead battery at some point and all 4 had seats that needed calibration. The seat backs don’t come all the way forward.
So i’m trying to avoid touching the battery for now but after yesterdays low warning I may go there anyway.
