It might be insightful for everyone to say which battery their Wrangler came with. It might account for some life difference?

What battery are replacing your OEM ones with? I have the 2.0 eTorque and wonder what's going to be the battery for it.

October will be 3 years, no issues………🤞. I think the fact that I’ve had the start/stop turned off for nearly 3 years with Tazer might have something to do with it…….🙂

What I'd like to know is how these batteries die/died. Did they died slowly requiring a jump to get going after sitting a while, etc...or did they suddenly die, wouldn't take a jump and rendered the vehicle immobile?

I don't care if they die slowly. I simply don't want to be stranded on a trail in the middle of nowhere all of a sudden.
zero issues at all for ours. wife drove to work fine. drove home fine. went to start it to go to work the next day and it was completely dead. glad it happened at home not at a store or some shit

Got it May 2019, but some days lately the ESS doesn’t turn the engine off, so I’m thinking the aux is about to go.

I had upcoming trips in my 3 year old JL so I decided to change the battery. When I pulled it out I found that the 3 year old Jeep had a 2 year old battery. This happened before I bought it so I suppose my original battery died at about 12 months.

After 30 months 23k miles, both the main and aux battery are going strong. My JK's battery died at 3 years on the noise, 30k miles.

I have a 2018 3.6 ESS with the dinky ESS battery. It no longer holds a charge above 12.2V and the charging system is locked in battery protection mode. Waiting on a battery to be delivered.

39 months and 49k miles.

2018 3.6. Bought it February 2019. Stop/start quit working so I took it in. They replaced the main but didnt replace the aux. 🙄 They said it just needed a charge and put it back in. Didnt call me, said they were busy. I would have paid to replace it since they had it out. Main lasted 29 months since ownership, aux still going. They also said they'd never heard of the software update TSB to allow it to crank with a dead aux. I'll have to print it and hand it to them.

Were you able to get it to start with a jumper or powerpack or did it have to be towed?
