I put a new Interstate AGM battery in 2 years ago & since then have put maybe a few thousand miles on the TJ, I drive it on average once a week which is most often a 30 to 60 minute drive around town or through winding country roads with the occasional 12 hour wheeling day. Lately I’ve noticed the battery is loosing power, it’s struggling to crank the engine & yesterday barely got it started. Once I drive as above & shut it off it’ll crank right up no problem. I’m pretty sure on the trajectory it’s been on when I go to start it next weekend it probably won’t have enough juice to turn it over.
I’ve never owned a vehicle I’ve driven so infrequently so I’m not sure if this is normal or should I be bringing this battery back to Interstate for a replacement? If it’s normal I’m assuming I can just toss a trickle charger on there between drives?
