You probably made your battery purchase by now, but...
to my knowledge, the Sears Diehard Platinum is still not available in the size 48 for '12 and newer Wranglers.
I went with the AutoZone Duralast Platinum as it is my understanding that they are made by the same manufacturer as the Diehard

I've gone thru 4 of the dura last platinums in my powerstroke. Both times covered by the warranty. When my sticker in the jeep goes I'm going to go with duralast just for the warranty.

Sorry to rain on your parade but the Odyssey and the Sears DieHard Platinum are both manufactured by EnerSys Corp, however I do not believe the DieHard Platinum comes in size 48.

Still made in the US. Good enough for me.

Energizer or Duracell agms from SAMs. Best for the money. Made by east penn battery(Duracell). The energizer I've seen in a test and held their ground next to 3 of the top batteries on the market.

I also run a Duracell and switching from the stock battery, it has in a few situations shown to be a good bit stronger as far as holding a constant load.
