A failing battery can make starting more difficult or prevent your Jeep from starting at all. As your Jeep dealer, we want to tell you more about some signs you need to visit us for a new car battery. more Old Battery One of the main causes of battery failure is age, as the average life of a battery is three to five years. This short life is due to the breakdown of the chemicals inside the battery. These chemicals, particularly sulfuric acid, are essential for the battery to store and supply electricity. As the chemicals weaken, the battery's storage capacity drops, and recharging becomes more difficult. While we can't prevent the battery from weakening, we can test it to determine its remaining life. We advise testing your battery once a year, starting from the third year. Our technicians will connect your battery to our computerized battery tester. This tester subjects the battery to various tests to identify any weaknesses. If it fails the test, we can install a new battery in minutes. Battery Warning Light The battery warning light illuminates due to any issue that affects the electrical system. Each component in the system has a sensor connected to it, and these sensors monitor their connected components for signs of trouble. The sensors can detect minute changes in the behavior of the components, allowing you time to get them checked or replaced. This light could mean your battery is tweaking, but it could also signal issues like a failing alternator, damaged wiring, or a blown fuse. If you experience random electrical glitches or dim headlights when the engine is switched off, a failing battery is the most likely culprit. We'll investigate and repair or replace the cause of the problem. Battery Corrosion As we saw above, the chemicals inside a battery gradually break down. As the sulfuric acid breaks down, it releases hydrogen gas. The hydrogen molecules will escape the battery case and enter your engine. They combine with sulfur molecules, released into the engine due to the presence of fuel, and form hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a corrosive chemical and is drawn to the battery terminals. This chemical forms an acidic salt around the terminals and corrodes them. The corrosion weakens the battery even further as it greatly reduces recharging rates. We can clean the corrosion, but it will continue to return if the battery fails. Once we replace the battery, the corrosion will stop. A weak battery could fail you when you least expect it.

After several decades on the market, it's evolved to meet the needs of today's environmentally-conscious drivers, and the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe seamlessly blends hybrid technology with the tough off-road capabilities that make Jeeps so popular among adventure lovers. more Basics About the 2024 Grand Cherokee 4xe The 2024 edition of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe takes the standard Grand Cherokee and swaps the V6 engine for a hybrid powertrain. It's a midsize SUV that seats up to five people and comes with many comfort features for everyone to enjoy. It features an 8-speed automatic transmission with four-wheel drive and sequential shift control with steering wheel controls so you can adapt your drive to meet conditions on and off the road. In addition to the base trim, there are five more trim levels available: Trailhawk, Carb State Edition, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. Offroad enthusiasts might want to consider upgrading to the Trailhawk for features like Quadra-Drive II for a 4x4 system that's always active and can transfer up to one hundred percent of available torque to a single rear wheel when needed, giving you extra confidence in most weather conditions. Power Meets Performance If you're wondering how the power of the turbocharged hybrid stacks up compared to the usual V6 engine, you might be surprised to learn that the plug-in hybrid powertrain offers even more power and speed. It delivers up to 375 horsepower, which is 72 more than the V6, and gives you 210 lb-ft more torque for increased speed and better performance for low-speed off-roading. With this kind of power at your fingertips, you can go almost anywhere your heart desires. You can select from three different driving modes: Hybrid, Electric, and eSave. Hybrid Mode provides maximum horsepower by combining the power of the turbo engine with the electric motor. In Electric Mode, you'll still enjoy instant torque when you accelerate, but with nearly zero tailpipe emissions, and eSave Mode does the opposite by going all-in with the engine to reserve battery power for later. Interior Convenience Enjoy the extra breeze when you open the sunroof with express open/close activation, or keep the windows up and use the voice-activated, automatic dual-zone front air conditioning to keep cool on your drives. Heated front seats will keep you cozy while traversing colder conditions, and the 8-way power-adjustable driver seat takes care of your whole-body comfort at any temperature.

Image via Snethkamp CDJR While the automotive hybrid movement was spearheaded by Japanese automakers in the late 1990s, drivers of the first hybrids would be utterly floored by the eco-friendly designs and systems baked into the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. This 4x4 powerhouse of an off-roader looks nothing like the Kammback-tailed hybrids of yesteryear; but just because it looks like the off-road beast that it is doesn't mean the 4xe doesn't have serious eco-conscious cred. more 1. More Power (Not Less) One thing that would surprise owners of the underpowered hybrids of yesteryear is that the 2024 Wrangler 4xe offers significantly more power than its gas-powered siblings. Most Wranglers come with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 gasoline-only engine, offering 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. But the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivetrain in the 4xe offers up to 375 total horsepower and a staggering 470 lb-ft of torque, amplifying the amount of off-road fun and capability in the 4xe. 2. Petroleum-Free Daily Drives With an all-electric range of up to 21 miles on a full charge, most Wrangler drivers can skip out on pricey petrochemicals altogether for their daily commutes. And with more power companies than ever offering eco-friendly power source options like wind, geothermal, or solar, Wrangler 4xe drivers can not only reduce tailpipe emissions, but also reduce their emissions at the root source of power, too. 3. Zippy Charging The 2024 Wrangler 4xe offers an estimated 49 mpge, drastically reducing fuel consumption overall. It also comes with a Level 1 charging cable, capable of juicing up your 4xe to a full charge in 12 hours. However, a simple-to-use and delightfully affordable Free2move Charge Level 2 EV Charger can charge the battery in just 2 hours, meaning that drivers can maximize their electric miles. 4. Solar-Powered Adventures Jeep isn't stopping there, though, because they understand that electric chargers need to meet Jeeps where they're designed to go: off-road and on-trail. That's why Jeep is working to install solar-powered chargers at off-road trailheads across the United States, ensuring that Wrangler 4xe drivers can top off the juice and defend their environment even as they conquer it. 5. Regenerative Braking Regenerative braking has been around the hybrid world for a long time, but Jeep has integrated it into the Wrangler 4xe, and a special Max Regeneration mode reconfigures the accelerator pedal to enable more aggressive regeneration at low pedal positions. That means you can not only slow the Wrangler 4xe without a brake pedal, confident that it's actively charging the battery, but also knowing that the mode remains engaged until you choose to disable it. With so many eco-friendly features, there's no wonder the 2024 Wrangler 4xe keeps being a favor. Test-drive yours today at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Redford, MI, and discover what the "power" part of solar-powered feels like.
