Well, YOU GUYS ARE NEVER GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!!! It’s…. The battery. 😂 I guess you guys were correct. The most obvious problem was indeed the problem. Well, thanks for helping me either way, I appreciate the time you took to give me tips. Bad news, yep, battery is under warranty...

So, left the car for a few hours. Batt had dipped a bit. Started it up, it did a bit of a weak start (engine kicked over and it started, but not with its normal strength). I let it run a bit, killed the engine. Measured, went down to 12.0v. Started again, this time it worked, but was a super sad...

Appreciate the tip. Thx!

Aside from the obvious (jeep not starting) is there a 100% sure way to know the batt is toast? or without special equipment, ya just have to trial and error?

forgot to say, it's at 12.5v now, a little while after turning off. will let it sit a couple hours and see if it holds the charge

Stayed 14.3v for 15 min. Then I turned the car off. Ideally, after resting, a healthy batt will be 13.7v?

I’ll do that and report back. You said healthy batt should read 14v when running?

No, but I can right now. Just wasn’t sure exactly what you meant. You mean plug in my battery charger and check the volts it reads before it is done charging?

Sorry, I should have clarified. Anything that could have caused the alternator to malfunction? It starts fine, just the battery isn’t charging.

Thx for your reply. No, didn’t check while charging if that’s what you mean? I will tho. I totally hear what you’re saying, but the fact that it happened after the very first drive after the oil change seems like it must be related to the change. Let me ask you this (I’m assuming you know...

Hello. I have a weird issue I was wondering if someone may be able to help with before I bring my jeep into the ever-so-expensive dealer for a repair. I guessing it has to be something super simple that I haven't thought of. My Jeep is a 2018 "Golden Eagle" edition Wrangler JK (last of the JK's...
