At Granger Motors, we’re committed to helping you navigate your Jeep’s battery warranty coverage and replacement services, keeping your Jeep powered and ready for every journey.
What is Covered Under the Jeep Battery Warranty?
Jeep provides warranty coverage for the original battery installed in your vehicle, ensuring it performs as expected during the initial ownership period. Here’s what you need to know about your Jeep’s battery warranty:
- Basic Limited Warranty: Covers the original battery under the 3-year/36,000-mile Basic Warranty.
- Replacement Battery Warranty: If you need to replace your battery, Mopar® offers a 2-year/unlimited-mile warranty on replacement batteries.
What’s Covered:
- Defects in materials or workmanship: If your Jeep’s battery fails due to a defect, it will be repaired or replaced at no cost within the warranty period.
- Replacement during warranty: Should your battery malfunction within the coverage window, a replacement is typically provided under warranty.
What’s Not Covered:
- Wear and tear: The warranty doesn’t cover natural wear and tear or battery degradation that occurs over time.
- Damage due to misuse: Improper maintenance, accidents, or exposure to extreme conditions (e.g., heat or freezing temperatures) that contribute to battery failure aren’t covered.
How Long Does the Jeep Battery Warranty Last?
The Jeep battery warranty aligns with the standard Basic Limited Warranty, which covers your entire vehicle for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you need to replace the battery during this time, it will be replaced free of charge as long as the issue is due to a defect in materials or workmanship.
Once you replace the original battery with a Mopar® replacement battery, you’re also protected with a 2-year/unlimited-mile warranty on the new battery. This extended warranty provides continued peace of mind and ensures your Jeep’s battery will perform reliably, even beyond the factory warranty period.
Common Jeep Battery Issues & Warranty Protection
While Jeep batteries are designed to withstand various conditions, there are a few common issues that could arise, especially as your vehicle ages:
- Battery Drain: Leaving lights or electronics on can drain the battery, requiring a jump-start or replacement.
- Cold Weather Performance: Batteries may struggle in extremely cold temperatures, reducing their ability to hold a charge.
- Corrosion on Terminals: Corrosion can build up on battery terminals, leading to connectivity issues and reduced performance.
- Electrical System Faults: If the battery isn’t the problem, there may be issues with the alternator or electrical system.
If any of these issues occur within the warranty period due to a defect in materials or workmanship, your battery may be replaced at no cost. However, regular wear and tear or issues caused by outside factors like extreme weather conditions or improper use are typically not covered under warranty.
