What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance in your Wrangler. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.

CAUTION! Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be added to sealed batteries. Cap removal voids the battery warranty and may cause damage to the batteries and to your Wrangler.

Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries:

Type:

Deep-cycle (sealed lead-acid or gel cell)

Size:

Group 27

Voltage:

12 volts each

Amperage:

100 AH (amp hours)

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead com- pounds. Wash hands after handling.
