batteries in general doesnt last more than 4 years now. the 7+ yearlife span are gone. i'm looking to replace mine with optima because die hard have gone down the drain.
Interstate batteries easily last 7 plus years if taken care of. I've also heard great things about Odyssey batteries. Optimas have gone way down hill from 20 years ago.

too bad on the optimas but il'll look into the odyssey battery. i know theres a tread on the battery size, so just for a quick answer what is the largest size battery that will fit in the jl.

:(. My secondary battery was replaced in January, ESS worked for a day and then it stopped working. With COVID and all I just havenā€™t brought it in to get rechecked, but from what I read I will probably need another battery replacement.

This certainly isnā€™t giving me confidence for when the Jeep is out of warranty...

I know itā€™s been discussed at length on another thread but this sort of thing just shouldnā€™t be necessary on a brand new 40K+ vehicle.
Hi Doug,

I've got both the Battery Tender Jr and the Schumacher. Both great choices.
