So I installed the @Genesis Offroad double battery setup and it looks awesome. It works really well too except I have been having ESS problem since installed. The ESS shuts down and I get a warning about ESS not functioning and needing service after 6 or so cycles (sometimes 7 - but I may have had miscounted that time). After I turn the Jeep off, and re-start, the ESS functions again.
I contacted Genesis and the person who was very nice told me that Chrysler (@JeepCares) has designed the ESS to shut down after each 6 cycles. Now, I have no reason to doubt Genesis's good faith in this instance but I find it to be a heck of a coincidence that in the 15 months that I have owned my JL, I have never exceeded the 6 cycle thing except each time I have driven the Jeep in the 3 days after which I have installed the Genesis setup. So I am puzzled... Anyone else experiencing this issue/feature?
