as luck would have it, two days before my trip, in which I'm road tripping the wrangler 5 hours to and from, my battery decides to give up the ghost. I'm actually glad it went now, vs on a desolate island, but still...I was planning on getting an Odyssey but they are tough to find "in stock" anywhere. So, I was unprepared.
I looked around and found that Batteries Plus sells a Private Label AGM, called X2Power by Northstar. Northstar is mfg by Enersys, Anyway, I found a store relatively local to me that has a dual post version of the Group 34 X2 Power battery and reserved it online. It was 324 dollars with a 10% off coupon bringing my total to just under 300.

When I showed up to get the battery, the guy was really apologetic. He said, the X2 brand is on national backorder, so they had to sub in the equivalent "upgrade" battery...and he handed me an Odyssey, (which is also mfg by Enersys)! So, I got my 350 dollar Odyssey 3478 dual post battery for 310 out the door.
Funny how sometimes, things just work out
