My Genesis system has only been in a few days but from my understanding of talking to Ryan and @TTEChris from Tank Customs who did the install they have seen issues with the bypass install even with the ESS negative removed but not sure of the particular issues other than having starting issues, there are guys like @Jebiruph that are more well versed on this than I am but Iām thinking if you have the bypass installed and ESS negative removed you are pulling off the main battery and putting all load on one battery.I've been researching it. Current JLUR is 1K miles, but with what I use it for, I am not really trusting of the little battery especially with our weather changes.
when did you have yours installed? 6cyl? You have the aux buttons and 240 alternator? you have much aux needs? Any issues so far?
I have a Smart Stop/Start module installed so I never use ESS, after chatting with Shane from Genesis and if I understand it correctly there system uses two batteries ( mine are Full River 750-25ās ) that have good specs here:
The primary crank battery is connected with the aux battery and when the Jeep is running the Genesis relay checks the charge on the main crank battery and if if sees 13.2 volts the Cole Hersee relay opens and current flows to the aux battery to charge both with the alternator and itās treated as one big battery, when you shut your Jeep off and say run radio, lights etc... power is pulled from both batteries then once the main crank gets to 12.7 volts it isolates it and pulls from the aux for as long as it can so you will always have 12.7 to crank the engine then once running the process starts over and charges the main to 13.2 and then the relay open to charge the aux..
Its just a really cool design and I hope it provides me with many years of trouble free service, itās not cheap but I donāt have to worry
Here is info from them, Iām not associated with Genesis at all just a customer and @Genesis Offroad has been super with there responses
For me itās like having a built in jump pack as if you do run your main down and have power left on the aux battery you can press a jumper button and it connects both together for 1 min to basically give you a jump start so you wonāt be stranded.
There are several relays in the Genesis desi but they appare have a pretty decent warranty but like anything on these new vehicles electronic issues do happen
