I bought my 2009 4door JK used about a year ago and now it is time to replace the battery. I don't have a winch but plan on adding one soon. I thought this would be easy and just buy a Optima red top but I am seeing some bad reviews. I would like to hear your feedback and what batteries are others running in their JK's. Duals?

Thanks,
Tim

 

Optima Yellow top, no problems.
I have a few friends who have yellow tops, no complaints either.

 

oddsy / interstate / eastpen / hawker all make decent batterys. unless you you need somthing with that much vibration resistance or a battery thats completly sealed an optima is over kill and more cost then whats nessary. 200 or so for the opt vs 120 or so for a good normal service free battery.

 

Sears Die Hard Platinum. It is a good gel cell battery and backed by a 5 year no-questions-asked warranty. I've had much better luck with these batteries than any other and it runs my Warn 9.5ti just fine.

Optima yellow top flawless

 

X2 on the Optima yellowtop. Mine has been great.

 

x2 on this . and if im not mistaken the warranty is full replacement not prorated

 

x3 on this. The Optima Yellow top would be my second choice. The die-Hard platinum as well as having a better warranty also has higher performance specs.

 

X4 on the Die-hard platinum.

 

Can't go wrong with a Sears DieHard Platinum.
