PC1220 is now discontinued. What's the best to get now? I see there is a 34-PC1500T and it looks like a few have gotten that but is there another recommendation?

I ended up getting the 34R-PC1500 like everyone else recommended and it works flawless with everything including winching.
If you have a 2012+ model, make sure you get the one with the R. The posts are reversed for the 3.6 motor.

Awesome was just in the market for this. How hard is it to install a dual battery set up?

I installed the Genesis system on a 2008 JKUR. The only part I found difficult (frustrating would be a better description) was getting all of the OEM connectors back on the fuse box. There wasn't much room to work and it was a PITA.

Ya I pretty much figured it would be a pita but worth it in the end. Thx

I believe your clamp at the bottom is upside down. If you turn it over it will push down and wedge the battery into the tray.

I have this battery, I'm not sure if I got it because of Eddie's write up but it works great and we'll worth the cost.

For those with the 34R 1500, did you find it difficult to secure the connections on terminal? I tighten to what I would expect for it to hold but it continues to slip off the terminal.

Hi from Sweden
In 2012 I found this excellent article and bought the pc1220 batteri for my Jeep wrangler 2 door Sahara, and I dont Think the 34R-PC1500 was for sale then. I imported it from Finland for about 400 dollars, was about 600 dollars here in Sweden.
My Odyssey PC1220 AGM battery was little weak after 6 years in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Rubicon 10th Aniversary so I ordered a Odyssey 34R-PC1500 battery from England because it was so expensive here in Sweden, about 600 dollars and from England with shipment it was about 400 dollars. Anyway the PC1220 is still for sale in Europe, and is probably made in England and Odyssey do not sell them anymore in US. I ordered the 34R-PC1500 because it has better specs than the PC1220. Somebody at some US forum called odyssey and they sayd that the 1220 battery was not so good and it was made in England and recomended the 34R-PC1500 that was of better quality? and it was made in US.
No problem at al to install, no problem at al with the stock terminals.
The 1220 is larger but the 34R-PC1500 is about 1.9kg heavier. Both of them are a direct fit for my 2013 Rubicon with Pentastar petrol engine.
My old 1220 was slightly bigger but weigh 1.9kg less

As you have mentioned, this is an old article and the 34R-PC1500 was not available at the time when it was written. The PC1200 is no longer sold in the US and the 34R-PC1500 is what I would recommend.
^ Pretty sure you meant to say that it is what you WOULD recommend.
:doh: Yes, that is what I meant to say :crazyeyes:
Question, will the 34R-PC1500 fit a 2018 JK and is their a dual terminal version that will fit?
The 34M-PC1500ST looks to fit but I'll need to see if the 3/8 inch positive and 5/16 inch negative thread SS stud terminals can be adapted to normal SAE posts to hook up the jk terminals. And where to find them.
Thanks
