Silly question - Does a 2023 JLUR with a 3.6 V6 24V VVT eTorque Engine with Stop/Start have an Auxiliarly battery?

I'm asking cause I attempted to bypass it today and there was no negative cable for the Aux battery. There is a post that I think is where it should be but there is nothing on it.

{I do have a wire for a radio connected to the main post.}

Here's some pictures...

No. eTorque models do not have the golf cart battery.

Previously asked (among many, many others):

Edit: To go into a little more detail, you have a secondary battery—a big 48V battery physically under the Jeep. You do not have the small 12V battery under the fuse box.

Nope but you do have an empty small battery box in your fender well.

I was driving today and attempted to talk on my 2 way radio. As I transmitted on High power, the radio cut off. This indicates a lack of voltage to the radio. As I was driving the battery voltage indicated 13.7 volts. I'm wondering if my charging system is going bad or is the battery? I've heard many, many times the aux battery drains the main battery so I was wondering if there was one on my Etorque.

At home, I turned off the Jeep and the battery read 12.5 volts. I've got it on a battery tender for the rest of the night and will check tomorrow.

That's my story and the reason for the post. Thanks for the answers.

Dumb question, did you check the fuse to the radio? Any play/is it loose/broken?

It sounds like your radio is not wired correctly. You need thicker gauge or have a loose connection.
