Only in a Jeep . A quick inquiry about the stock battery in my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited . I figure after a year and a half it's about time to start looking for a replacement . I have never been a fan of stock batteries . Any advice on a replacement for the stock unit. Heard a lot of good things about the Ultima(red top) and heard some negative remarks as well . Any wisdom from gurus up on top , would be appreciated ! :cool:

:D Yeah, it's the twin of the Odessey -same group, so you'll have to look at costs/warranty/free replacement-

My '08 just went thru the 3 yr date and the battery is still PRIMO, so I'm not looking yet-

:dance::rofl: JIMBO

I've heard that the Optima batteries you are talking about are very good & last a long time. I, personally, have never try one. I always got die hard batteries from sears. I get the gold line ones. 3 years free replacement & 5 years pro-rate after that. Can't go wrong. Usually the battery last between 2-3 years for me so I get a free replacement!:dance:

The DieHard Golds are made by Optima's parent company.
The Platinums are made by Enersys.

Which P# fits the 11/12' JK? P2, 4? I guess which group size is what I'm asking fits under the hood without having to redo all the leads to lengthen them. My optima I have will require a splice for the leads and I don't want to do that. Instead its going in a Taylor box in back with lines to the Diehard. Any recommends? The P2 has the 135 hr reserve time, 990 CC amps but will the bugger fit?

Oddyessy or Diehard Platinum, Optima yellow top or Northstar deep-cycle batteries are all top notch to run if you have lots of accessories and planning on running a winch.

I've had my stock battery since I bought my wrangler 6 years ago. This week it just started to give me grief. But for the last 6 years I've had no problems. I went to sears today and bought the die hard gold based off of rave reviews. I'll update y'all on how it does.

Optima red top is the only way to go
Why, what makes it better than the yellow top or any of the others listed?
