well replaced the battery (to an interstate) , fired right up, took it to autozone to have them check the charging system, all seems to be well 
I can't believe a jeep that's 2 yrs old can have a factory battery crap out so soon, just last year I finaly had to change my wifes FACTORY battery in her 2004 Liberty & that one was 10 yrs old ?

The battery I saw fail during f-Stop Arkansas I mentioned earlier was in a '12, so it was about a year and a half old. They are warranted, BTW. Full warranty for three years, I'm pretty sure. Just have to trade at dealer. Still, you'll be better with that Interstate, though you could have paid the core fee and then sold the new dealer battery.

My battery went out in my 2012. When I would shut the engine off on the trail it wouldn't start sometimes. Never did it on the street. Dealer tired to duplicate issue and couldn't. Load test revealed battery. Mine was NOT warrantied at 2 1/2 years! I thought I had a heat soak issue of some kind. These computerized vehicles have to have a near perfect battery.
What’s Covered

When It Ends
The Basic Limited Warranty lasts for 36 months from the date it begins or for 36,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first. But the following items are covered only for 12 months or for 12,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first:
• brakes (rotors, pads, linings, and drums);
• wiper blades;
• clutch discs or modular clutch assembly (as equipped);
• windshield and rear window; and
• wheel alignment and wheel balancing
The Basic Limited Warranty covers your vehicle only if:
• it was built for sale in the U.S.;
