Can someone tell me if the amazon link I posted a few posts up is the correct yellowtop for a JK?

I dunno about that, but I will tell you I got a Duralast from AutoZone for $100. 800 cold cranking amps, 8 yr warranty. They pro rate after so many years, I think the first 3 is free replacement. I'd much rather be able to get one local than order one. If you had to send it back, think about shipping, I dunno, unless an optima dealer close by takes them back.

I had the random no start months ago, but the Jeep was flashed for something else so I assumed it might be corrected. A couple days ago it did it again, but then started up normally on the next try. Not sure what is up with the electrical gremlins on these JKs. Yours may indeed be battery related, especially since heat is pretty stressful on them.
