Battery of Choice?

I'm still kicking myself in the rear for not keeping a battery tender on my Diehard Platinum. It lasted 7 years and only died because I let it sit uncharged for a long time. :mad:
The Diehard in the TJ sits with a tender when not in use. But currently it’s in the garage in case my Wife needs to drive it. I’m 1,200 miles away in my 4Runner.

This thread was very helpful. Upgraded batteries to a rebadge of the Northstar AGM24M / ODX AGM24M as recommended by Steel_City_06:

Batteries plus carries a near identical version of the above called "X2 Power". The case is identical, only the sticker is different, their tech confirmed it's a Northstar:

Great deal on the battery, went into my '05 LJR with the wedge style battery holder seamlessly. Great warranty, and they took care of the removal/install. The non-marine, 34/78 versions have a longer warranty at 60 vs 48 months, but I like the extra capacity on the 24 group, especially for a small fridge down the line for camping.

Now I need to upgrade the wiring to 2ga via JeepCables or CustomBatteryCables, and think about a new alternator.
