Its funny you mention running your battery low as I have done this twice, once under a controlled situation to test the Genesis system and once when I was in the middle of a National Forest with nobody around and the second time was by accident as I had lights on and stereo going and I got that click of death and a simple push of the boost button got me rolling, I simply love the fact of having this peace of mind.Don't be phased about the genesis. You will have some upfront work to install it but it's not a huge deal and you'll learn more about your jeep. Plus at some point the little tiny stock starter battery may drive you crazy. I have the dual genesis and there is no messing around once it's installed. Just plug your fridge in and you're golden every time. No switches, nothing complicated. I also run a 47 ARB fridge and have had no issues with maintaining the charge. The other nice thing about the genesis is that if for some reason you do run your starter battery low you can press a button to join both batteries and then start it.
In the long run I think it is less complicated than solar and recharging goal zero batteries but each to their own right? Whatever you decide will be right for you.
I do regular conditioning of my batteries with a Odyssey 20 amp smart charger to keep the batteries at peak, I know batteries don’t last forever but I want to get maximum life from them.
As you said the stock baby battery is crazy and a poor design by FCA and not by having two batteries it’s the location
