Your Jeep Wrangler battery size depends on its year and configuration. There are five different options:
- 12 3/8" x 6 7/8" x 7 1/2"
- 12 1/16" x 6 7/8" x 7 9/16"
- 10 1/4" x 6 13/16" x 7 7/8"
- 10 1/16" x 7 3/16" x 6 15/16"
- 10" x 6 1/16" x 8 3/8"
Installing the correct Wrangler battery size is not only a matter of performance but of safety. Because every vehicle requires different amounts of power to run properly, if your battery is too small, your car won’t start. On the other hand, if the battery is too large, you risk fire and other hazards.

Battery group code | Length x Width x Height | Model year(s) |

Jeep Wrangler battery group code
What exactly is a battery group code? It’s the industry standard categorization for battery sizes. Rather than sifting through a long list of measurements, battery codes allow you to search for the correct battery size much faster. If you’re looking for a new battery, it’s worth finding out which battery group you’re looking for.
The Jeep Wrangler has six possible battery group codes: H7, H6, 34/78, 34, 58, or 56. See the chart above to determine your Wrangler battery group code.
Jeep Wrangler battery lifespan
How often should you change your Jeep Wrangler battery? Most car batteries will function at full capacity for around three years. That may seem short—and you’re right. You can usually squeeze a lot more life out of your battery, but unfortunately, you’ll probably notice a dip in your battery’s performance after three years.
Keep an eye out for these signs that it’s time to change your Wrangler battery:
- You’re having difficulty starting your car
- The Check Engine light is on
- There’s a foul smell (like rotten eggs)
- Electrical issues (like unresponsive power windows)
- Dim headlights
- Struggling in cold temperatures
If your Wrangler has any of these problems, it may be time for a new battery!
