AGM vs flooded — which does this vehicle need?
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler requires an absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery. This is because the Wrangler has a start-stop system, which automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped to save fuel. AGM batteries are better suited for the frequent starts and stops of a start-stop system than traditional flooded batteries.
In addition, AGM batteries are more resistant to vibration than flooded batteries. This is important for a vehicle like the Wrangler, which is often used for off-roading.
Post-installation relearn / reset procedure
After replacing the battery in a 2021 Jeep Wrangler, you will need to perform a relearn procedure. This will allow the vehicle's computer to learn the new battery's state of charge and capacity.
To perform the relearn procedure, follow these steps:
- Turn the ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine.
- Leave the ignition on for 10 minutes.
- Turn the ignition off and then start the engine.
The relearn procedure is now complete.
Signs of a failing battery
- The engine cranks slowly or not at all.
- The headlights are dim.
- The battery warning light is on.
- The battery is leaking or has corrosion on the terminals.
Common battery issues for this generation
One of the most common battery issues for the 2018-present Jeep Wrangler (JL) is a premature failure of the auxiliary battery. The auxiliary battery is a small, 12-volt battery that is located under the main battery. It is used to power the vehicle's electronics when the engine is off.
The auxiliary battery can fail prematurely due to a number of factors, including heat, vibration, and deep cycling. When the auxiliary battery fails, it can cause a number of problems, including a no-start condition, a dead main battery, and a variety of electrical problems.
If you are experiencing any of these problems, it is important to have your vehicle's battery system checked by a qualified technician.
