@New JL/13Fatboy

Main Battery has 3 yr. / 36,000 mi. and Aux battery, has 1 year / 36,000 mi. warranty from what I have gathered from reading posts here over the last 2.75 years.

I had the ESS battery and the main battery both replaced under warranty last year in my GC. It was past the initial 12 months, so it appears they were warranted for 36 months.

Just saying this because the battery warranty time frame is probably the same for a Wrangler.

I would think the warranty is 3yrs / 36,000 miles in regard to both batteries. I was surprised to read on FB and here, a couple of guys saying the Aux was only covered for a year..

For those not under warranty and having the dealer replace either one or both of your JL/JT's batteries....

IF you are going to have the dealer do it or anyone/ yourself do it, DO, go out and buy aftermarket batteries.

The OEM batteries are not the greatest it seems.

Buy aftermarket batteries and have the dealer install them..

Though the pickings are slim in regard to an aftermarket Aux battery, a good offering is the:
DieHard Platinum AGM Battery, BCI Group Size 400, 200 CCA Part # AUX14-1

For the Main a good way to go is with either of these Made in the USA batteries:
Odyssey Battery 48-720
NORTHSTAR Group 48 Battery NSB-AGM48

I've heard good about the Odyssey. if the 720 is 720 CCA, that's good.

Odyssey and Northstar come off the same line in Missouri, USA. Both good offerings..

Enersys already owned Odyssey and they acquired Northstar in 2019. One of their two (2) plants in Springfield is about a mile from me. I purchased two Northstar AGM batteries for my boat and they have been amazing. The boat is in storage October - April and the 6.2 liter starts first time in the Spring. When the Jeep needs a replacement main battery, I am going with a AGM Northstar.
