For a Jeep Cherokee XJ, you will want an Optima RedTop battery in the BCI Group 34 size, such as the Optima 34/78 RedTop which has both top and side terminals or the Optima RedTop 34 which is top-post only. This battery is designed to fit in the stock location, provides 800 cold cranking amps, and uses Optima's Spiralcell technology for vibration resistance, making it well-suited for off-road use.
Choosing the Right Optima RedTop
-
This model features both top and side terminals, which is a common configuration for Jeep vehicles and provides excellent starting power.
-
This is another option that is BCI Group 34 and is a top-post battery. You should ensure your XJ's battery tray and terminals are compatible with a top-post battery.
