New batt fitted today (well almost) Dealer has to order one in so they gave me one out of a stock vehicle for now.
Also we discussed general battery failure and I was told that the yellow tops have failed on a regular basis.
Interestingly other jeeps like Cherokees and so on, have battery sensors fitted.
This stops them overcharging by sensing the heat factor at the base of the battery.
For some reason the JK 07 model does not have a sensor and a lot of yellow tops have warped, bloated and failed due to the excessive heat and continuous charging.
Some batteries will handle this better than others. Jeep are aware this may be an issue.
