H7 / 94R are basically the same as each other, and either/both will fit. Although it fits the battery tray, it's bigger than the stock battery, so you can't use the stock fabric battery cover and you'll have to remove one of the battery holder clamp thingies on the bottom of your battery tray. But otherwise it does fit perfectly fine.

A lot of people recommend the Odyssey, but I wasn't keen on spending $400+ for a battery that I didn't really need (my stock one was working fine, I just wanted to avoid future issues that a lot of people are reporting with the stock 4xe 12v battery) so I went with this Duracell one for $244 from Batteries+Bulbs: https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/SLI94RAGM. It's been working fantastically powers my Warn 12k winch beautifully.

H7 or H6? Just asking as a double check....

H7.

The stock battery is H6 if you don't have the tow package, or H7 if you do, but the battery tray is compatible with H7 regardless.

And before you go on a wild goose chase, the 4Xe does not have an auxiliary battery. Just the one 12V

Assuming this would also work as the 12v for the other wrangler models with non-4xe powertrains ?

Fingers crossed I'm still on my October 2021 build original battery from the factory, it survived being laid up for 60 days awaiting the HV battery replacement, at this point I'm pushing to see if I can hit the 5 year mark on it.

I've never had premature 12v failure on any of my previous 5 Wranglers.

My 2007 JK battery quit after 4 years, the 2015 & 2018 lasted 3+ years, I traded those in with the original factory installed 12v.

I had no mods to stress the batteries either.

I have tow package and got H7 from Walmart. Living in Phoenix most batteries don't pass 3 years so its all about the warranty policy and convenience of replacement for me. Heat kills batteries here.
