Main and Aux Battery recommendations for the 3.0

[Riperoo]

Well, apparently I have to go battery shopping tomorrow. 21 JLUD, I figure I may as just well change the main an Aux. Can anyone hit me up sizes I am going to need? Did a quick search and didn't see a lot on the diesel, and I know they are bigger. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. TIA

I have A 2023 JLURD and deleted the Aux battery and installed an H7 Diehard platinum AGM battery after my Original Mopar battery died at 2000 miles. Am at 22000 miles now with no issues.

Thanks, went with these, and i got an additional $20 off by having it delivered to my house! Cheaper to have it delivered then to go and pick them up! Go figure. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey, one more question, if you don't mind. I know you just did this, any issues on the infotainment unit, resetting or anything? Need a code after reinstalling the batteries, like the older units? Did you lose all your presets on the EVIC system? Sorry, more than one question!!!

No mention of that, and I dont have the old ones out anyway, wanted to wait till the batteries are in my hands. They did charge a core of course, and I fully expect to bring them back in person at my leisure.

No worries. It really was shockingly easy. I'm so glad I have the Diesel.
Everything remained the same. Zero issues.
I have the 2022 JLURD with Alpine System/8.4 U Connect
I use the Motorola MA1 so I can have wireless Android Auto.
Auto connection same as last time. Gauges, everything.
It sparked slightly putting last negative lead on at end, was hoping it didn't blow fuse, all good
Remember Negative cable 1st when removing batteries
Negative cable last when reinstalling. This goes for both batteries
Have a 2nd person around would be helpful when removing main, its heavy, with handles
Having a step stool was also helpful, especially digging down into batteries area
Enjoy

Do the aux battery delete!

Concur! or issues and problems will continue.

I can't remember what Battery I got for the main, but its an AGM. I did the Aux Delete, with the jumper. It still does the Stop/Start if I have it turned on. I've been riding like that since the Aux Battery died in the first 6 months.
