That could be anything from poor quality OEM batteries to how often and how far the vehicle is driven.

I replaced my main battery at 2 years and 2 months. Didn’t touch the auxiliary battery as it hasn’t really worked since I bought it new.

Batteries are a crap shoot. I've had O.E. Batteries die in under a year and I've had them go 6 years. No rhyme or reason for either on my end.

Did you bother to have dealer replace them under warranty or just put in good ones?

I drive at least 70miles per day and mine is still charging on batteries that are only a year old. I think the IBS is jacked up.

Not getting any errors, but battery voltage gauge is showing a constant 14.5+ while driving and I have no ESS (shows “not ready” with no reasons why). Assuming the batteries or ibs is messed up. Until it doesn’t start, not going to mess with it.

Year 1 was 10 miles a day on average
Year 2 is 70+ daily a day on average

After I bought mine six months ago I asked the dealer I bought it from, and another dealer equidistant if they replace batteries under warranty if they fail inside the warranty period. They both said “no, they are normal wearing parts, like tires and brakes".

I’ve never had a battery fail on a new vehicle inside warranty so I didn’t know what I expceted them to say. Just wanted to hear what they would say.

I’m not going to “borrow trouble” yet, because nothing has failed yet.

That’s what I figured n really didn’t want to goto to the stealers anyway
I have charged them separate and after today they seem to have held over 12.5
I probably caused issue clamping a small light bar 0V wire under the IBS plate. How is that reset?

 

[Mr._Bill]

The IBS is reset by completely disconnecting it, suggested time is twenty minutes. Disconnect all the cables and then remove it from the negative post. Be careful with the battery cables to make sure they don't touch metal in the engine bay.

Any cables attached to the negative post should be connected under the nuts on the top of the IBS.

The batteries are covered under the 3/36 factory warranty. Getting them replaced under warranty is not easy. Jeep has a specific process outlined that dealers have to follow. They submit the results and have to get approval from Jeep to replace the batteries.
