Only if I'm using power. Otherwise it's just 2 large deep cycle batteries. My starter is a group 27 odyssey extreme. Yes, I know, the 7 pin is always hot. If I camp off it I disconnect. Just the same as using the camper.

I ended up just charging it off of the 7 pin trailer plug same as I do when it's mounted in my cargo trailer. Works perfect. Thanks for all the tips.

Just one note, heated lithiums do not self deplete as the heating pads are powered only from incoming power of 10 amps or more and the bms disconects the charging circuit until the battery reaches ~40f. And folks even build them into insulated battery enclosures so they can maintain temp easier...

Have you seen the new Renogy 50amp dc-dc/solar charger? It's waterproof and has a much higher solar voltage input capacity now. But I don't think you can buy it just yet in the states. If I decide to build out my Lone Peak I'll most likely use that as an all in one device for charging. It will...

100% agree. I would be using a heated lifepo4 in my diy battery power box but I already had this group 27 150ah agm from our cabin and it was almost new with less than 2 cycles on it. I'm looking forward to replacing it since it's in a portable box and weighs over 65 pounds.

You seem to assume a lot that wasn't said. Maybe you could re-read what was said and you wouldn't have to type a book in red like a teacher. I am very aware of proper usage of different battery types and depth of discharge. I have built many off grid systems with solar, dc-dc, lifepo4, agm...

I have the ESS disabled so that's not my concern at all. When I say big aux battery it's not meant to replace the tiny worthless one for the purpose jeep intended. I refer to aux as in house battery or in the normal old school sense of the word before this ess crap. I run my fridge in the cab...

Question, if Jeep thinks it's ok to add that little aux battery connected directly to the main battery, then why couldn't I extend heavy cables to the rear and just replace the aux battery with a full size one? Not lithium of course but a deep cycle agm. Even add an isolator like the old days so...

With my Rebel ecodiesel I bought a 3 pack of mopar oil filters on ebay for $75. The dealers get $90 for one filter and nearly $250 per oil change. That's why I started changing it myself. As for adding adaptive cruise that's gonna be a difficult and expensive add on after the fact. There are a...

I used tacoma bed rail nuts from Amazon.

I'm not sure if they are a chain. Probably locally owned but I'd just call around to locksmith shops with good ratings and ask for a price. Mine didn't have one in stock but got it in one day. I've also bought fobs/keys online from keylessjoe.com and taken it to a locksmith to cut and program...

Well good luck with that buying used from a non jeep dealer...

My 2020 JTR only came with one fob used and a replacement new factory one at locksmith express was about $200 cut and programmed. No need to go to a higher cost dealership.
