I may be speaking for myself, but I waited till I had a Tazer to make sure Start/Stop never comes on before I removed the second battery. I purposely didn't do this until then. But to that point, the KL (Cherokee runs a single battery system with Start/Stop, the difference is the type of battery. The JL/JT uses a AGM battery designed for running electronics, and a Lead Acid for starting almost eclusivly. Cars have normally used Starting style batteries for almost forever as they are great for holding voltage during a quick heavy load, they are not good at holding a small load though. Alot of my terminology is not perfect there, but I think the point gets across.There seems to be a lot of concern about the batteries and very little concern about exposing the "computer" to electrical fluctuations that might occur during a stop start using just one battery. Common sense would seem to indicate that if the manufactures thought running stop start on just one battery was OK, they would only provide one battery. While I mostly understand how starting solenoids on older cars and truck isolated some electrical equipment during starts, I am not sure how the system in JL Jeeps operates.
