Or you could do an intake relocation and do dual battery trays that what I plan on doing

Check out Duralast Gold group 34 as well. Has a CCA of 800 and CA of 1000 and they're less expensive than the Interstate or Diehards. I've been running one in mine now for 2-3 years and it hasn't failed me - well, unless I leave my headlights on for 6 hours like I did a couple of weeks ago They have a reserve of 105 minutes also - which is conservative, because I've left my headlights on for a couple of hours and came out and it cranked right up. Just don't leave 'em for 6

My problem was I bought an elcheapo 500CCA the day it got towed home and then I did the river thing and hooked up HID's but the ballasts constantly drained the battery even when jeep was off. Never had this pro with HID's before but if I so much as turned key to on then back to off the lights would turn themselves on. I left them in for a few weeks before buying the wagoneer header and going back to halogen, after that all was fine till I let it sit for a few weeks, then it was dead. There's no draw on the battery, it's just a cheap battery that's dead now. I'll look into that battery tho, thanks for the heads up

I had this same problem with mine when I had my HIDs. It has to do with the Sentry system in our year XJs - you know, the option where if you turn the headlights off AFTER you turn the Jeep off, they stay on for 45 seconds? Anyway, I'm not sure WHY the HID ballasts do it, but I know the fix for it is installing the HD wiring harness with relays. I installed the Putco harness and mine never did it again.

I almost bought one of those batteries off Amazon! Keep us updated how it does. Only decent, reasonably priced AGM I could find "near" me.

I did the Putco harness and it still did it 😓 That's why I went halogen. But then I found the wagoneer header and am much happier with that

Everyone is loving this XJ Flag tee & I know most of you aren't on FB or IG so I figured I'd make an extra discount for you guys as I've had several PMs regarding out of stock shirts. Discount only works with this link and isn't shown until checkout

Love the site. I was reading the shirts and in fine print on a tablet, I misquoted one. I read.

"Love is Strong, but Chromoly Axles are Stronger". The wife loved that comment.
