Improve, or repair, your Jeep's electrical power by getting an upgraded battery for a Jeep Cherokee. Every Jeep depends on its battery to power the radio, lights, starter motor, and more. Without a functional battery, vehicles cannot start and the many electrical accessories inside won't work. This is why it's essential to replace a failing battery for a Jeep Cherokee to keep the vehicle functioning well. We offer many different battery options at Extreme Terrain, allowing you to upgrade your Jeep to meet all your power needs. Along with getting a new battery, you may also want to invest in an upgraded alternator to supply the power to recharge the battery, especially if you have many electrical accessories added to your vehicle.
Deciding to Upgrade or Replace Battery
The battery is essential to start a Jeep and power its many electrical accessories, but the OEM battery is capable of running the Jeep so is it necessary to upgrade to a larger size? For some Jeep owners, it makes sense to maintain the same battery size when replacing a worn battery with a new one. This is true for owners who never have issues with running out of power or with starting the Jeep in the cold. If these things aren't a concern it's likely the stock battery size is enough. For Jeep owners who want more power, it makes sense to upgrade to a greater battery capacity. Buyers should look for batteries with a greater Ah rating because they store more power overall. Another factor to look at when selecting a battery upgrade is the amp rating or the maximum current of the battery. The higher the amp rating of the battery the more power can be delivered to the Jeep's starter motor, enabling it to start in extreme temperatures. Buyers interested in upgrading their batteries should look for options with a higher capacity and with a greater current rating. An upgraded battery for a Jeep Cherokee is beneficial because it:
- improves the starting power of the vehicle
- powers more accessories
- delivers more power during freezing temperatures
- makes the vehicle more reliable
An upgraded Jeep battery is an excellent investment and there are many options available at Extreme Terrain. The batteries are chosen based on their quality and their performance rating. Choose between AGM (absorbent glass mat) and lithium iron phosphate batteries, both of which serve as durable power sources that work well over time.
Choosing Between Deep Cycle and Starter Batteries
At Extreme Terrain we offer both standard Jeep batteries and deep-cycle batteries. The major difference is that standard batteries are designed to start the Jeep and to do little else. A deep cycle battery is meant to power devices for an extended period and can be discharged and recharged more deeply. Standard batteries are not meant to be discharged far and can be damaged if they are. It's wise to invest in a deep cycle battery for use with high-powered accessories such as onboard air or light bars. If you want to power these accessories with your Jeep you can add a deep cycle battery along with the standard battery to provide power to all the accessories you intend to run in the Jeep. At Extreme Terrain we offer many different types of Jeep batteries, deep cycle batteries, and battery accessories. There are battery chargers, battery controllers, and battery testers, giving you the tools you need to maintain your Jeep's battery and to access all the power you need whenever you need it.
