Your Jeep only needs around 150 amps to start. Anything more than that is a complete waste. Your money would be MUCH better spent upgrading the battery cables.

I bought one of those EverMaxx batteries before I realized how evil Walmart is. Anyway, its a good battery, I've had it for 4 years, 3 of which were Rochester winters. The battery itself is made by Johnson Controls. Hope this helps.
