Go have your battery tested. The alternator handles all the electrical load while your Jeep's running. If the battery is going bad it might be drawing a lot of current after starting to try and charge which may pull down the system voltage. Any auto parts store or even a Walmart with a car care center can check the battery with a load tester. And yes, a battery can die after a few years, I've had it happen.

The OEM warranty is not free you pay for that when you buy the car it is included in the purchase price.yah i went for a free tire rotation and now my back right tire is leaking 3 psi per week hahahah

definately a good point
but yah id go with a yellow top optima instead of another mopar battery.
i like to upgrade things.
I've also got got a 2021 Trailhawk. Haven't had any obvious battery issues, but the Auto Stop/Start wasn't working right after about nine months. (I do try to disable it everytime I think about it, but I hate it when something's not working.)
Reported it to the dealer when i went in for my first free oil change. They tested the OEM Mopar EFB battery...

...apparently found it to be bad, and replaced it with a DieHard AGM battery:

That seemed to fix the Auto Stop/Start problem.
I'm seeing that newer Renegades are now coming with Mopar AGM batteries. So maybe there was something not-quite-right with the Mopar EFB battery...

thanks for the pics!!! great post!!!
glad that solved the issue
so are you saying the dealer installed a diehard battery lol
or they told u it was bad and u installed it yourself
i used to like the diehard when it was at sears but now i was a bit dubious.
i always bought the biggest one for my heat soaked 76 corvette
with jet coated headers too the diehard gold always did a decent job in my corvette
Yeah, the Jeep dealer installed it. That was a year ago. I was surprised too.so are you saying the dealer installed a diehard battery lol
I assume they figured (or were told by Jeep) that it needed to now be an AGM battery, and Mopar didn't have those in the pipeline yet.
But now they apparently do, and that seems to be be what new Renegades are equipped with.
Well, remember that there are only about two or three battery manufacturers in the U.S. -- making all those different brands.
