2019 wrangler hard to start

[todda7655]

Hey all I’ve got a 19 wrangler with the 2.0t torque engine. I had to have it jump started but the battery is still testing okay. I looked for the aux battery and I didn’t see one under the front passenger fender. The battery is the original. Since being jump started it starts but drags. Voltage shows on dash around 13.6 to 14.2. I appreciate any suggestions on what to look at . Thanks everyone!

Check the battery voltage before you crank it. If it's under 12.5 it's junk. 6 years on a factory battery is beyond it's usual life.

I'm shocked your original battery is still kicking. 100% time for a new battery, regardless if you have another issue. Go with an H7 for increased capacity over base models. 2019 2.0 might have come with etorque so you would not have an aux if so. You'd have a high voltage briefcase sized pack under your car.
