I've done a bunch of searching and I can't find much on this particular part.
It looks super easy to install and remove if you have a warranty issue.
I saw one of the links posted and it immediately turned into an argument session.
I would really appreciate anyone's personal experience with the part I listed.
I know of the other methods to remove or bypass the aux battery.

Thanks for any input!!!

Pulling fuse 42 is a better way to achieve the same results, preventing the electrical separation of the batteries. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/jumperless-aux-battery-pcr-bypass.59836/post-984922

Oh good grief - someone making bucks on fear mongering and taking advantage of people having no idea what is going on. What a hoot. P.T. Barnum moment.
unreal what people will pay for. (or believe to begin with)

No we don't

Why is it better?
I know there are a few ways to bypass or replace the aux battery, but why is pulling the fuse better?
Just trying to increase my knowledge on this issue.
Well, we could repost hundreds of explanations - best to do some searching and reading.
Best to actually do nothing other than take care of your batteries by keeping things charged up. If you don't drive it enough, get a battery tender.
The odds of you having a "lost in the middle of nowhere" event are very slim. unless you believe internet lore.

Why would anyone PAY money for such a piece of wire with a fuse holder when they can do basically the same thing for free if they really want to buy into what they see in other places.

For one thing - I'm confused as to why a fuse in that line? There's no fuse between the aux battery and N1 that I can see in the schematics.
And if you put that jumper in - and do nothing else, you still can have a dead battery causing a no start situation because the main battery can go just as easily.

You have lost people trying to lead lost people, or the blind leading the blind in so many of the posts out there in "other places".

I enjoyed the argument !
No you didn't!
