Default Battery Time!

So..... left the jeep on long term valet park and I think that they must have had a light or something on.... anyways now if I don't drive ever 24 hours, at about 26 I need to jump it... ugh... though at 5 years I guess I'm due...

Anyways it is 2012 JK so I got the flipped terminals but it seems that with just relocating cables I should be able to go up in size and not worry about the terminals (correct? )

I'm looking at the

You may find this informative on battery choice ...

And five years out of a '12 OEM battery is actually quite remarkable. I've seen many of them fail at two.

It is a good thread and I did go through it before. The question that I'm after (and there was one thread out there that I read a while ago and now that I need it I of course can't find it) is which group size will work for me. I'm willing to readjust the wire placement, pop out the spacer but not looking to do any major fabrication....

Well... Got 25% off... Packed the kid in the jeep and drove out 30 minutes..... After removing the spacer it fit just right. No extra room whatsoever.
Btw I nearly doubled the capacity!!!! But it is one heavy SOB....
