I noticed this as well. it does not look normal. I will check how hot my battery gets...

after an hour long highway drive below 2k rpm while outside temp is around 70 - the battery gets over 150 degrees. Not sure if jeep uses a special battery but normally over 120 degrees shortens the life of the battery. it's probably bad for other electronics/rubber/fluids as well

I'm in Maryland. Last two new cars I purchased, I signed more papers than closing on a home. One sheet was very remarkable and bold. You sign acknowledging your spare tire , jack and tools are accounted for (delivered). Another sheet had cigar lighter and ash tray, another floor mats..

How did you measure that? Is there a temp sensor you can see with an OBD scanner or something?

That's definitely hot, but I don't see it as a detrimental amount of heat. I don't see where you're located, but in Dallas, summers are brutal on under-hood equipment (usually at least 30 days/yr over 100*). I still get about 3 years out of the batteries in my TBSS and Jeep SRT8. Both get extremely hot under-hood temps, especially with the mods and the fact that I drive them like I stole them, plus, no hood or side vents.
