Well it’s been awhile since I’ve done anything besides driving but wanted to check back in and say hey. Tested my battery last night and it was bad so instead of waiting till it died I just went ahead and replaced it with an AGM from Advance Auto. It’s an Autocraft and is made by Johnson Controls who also makes Optimas now. I went to a battery conference for work and learned about the different batteries we sell and what makes an AGM different that’s why I went that direction.

I need to address my terminals. Does anyone have any suggestions for good terminals that can fit accessory wires? I need room for at least 3 4ga wires.

Check the milspec ones someone installed - a few posts back in this thread.

As for me, I drove my fifth child, first son, home from the hospital in it yesterday :) Baby and mama both doing fine after emergency C-section. I guess he's a little adventurer and didn't want to take the usual way into the world lol

Nothing exciting for mine. Replaced the battery on my wife's 2006 Commander and readjusted the dog barrier in the 2008 JKUR. My Siberian Husky "puppy" managed to knock it out of place so I had to realign it. That dog has no sense and does some of the craziest things. And if I don't keep him contained in the cargo area, he'll end up on my lap driving the Jeep!

Here is the link to the milspec ones:

As for accessories, you are better off having a distribution block than trying to run multiple lines to the battery.
