I have 2019 Wrangler JL with the 20.0L eTorque engine and I have had battery charging issues for many years. While driving around town my voltage gauge states that it's charging at 14.4V all the time, but my starter battery keeps becoming discharged every week. I began a process of recharging my battery completely (12-9-13.0V) on the weekend only to find it at ~50% SOC (12.1 - 12.2V) after 1 weeks time. I drive my Jeep about 44miles a day, Monday thru Friday. Back in 2021 I installed a new Duralast Platinum AGM battery thinking it was a bad battery, but I'm still having the same issue now. I bought a separate voltage tester to go in the 12V power socket and it verifies the 14.4V charging voltage. I looked for any unusual parasitic current draws, but nothing seemed excessive. I was thinking the 48V battery may be at fault, but I don't know how to test it's voltage. Anyone know how to test the frame mounted 48v aux battery voltage?
I brought the Jeep into the dealer about this issue and they said everything checks out Ok.
