The battery in my 1996 XJ is pretty old (6 years or so... I think), and I was looking at batteries online, and noted that the size of the batteries changed for 1998, and the CCA rating went from 610CCA to 700CCA. Hmmm...




1993 - 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport Battery, Group Size 58, 610 CCA



1998 - 2001 Jeep Cherokee Battery, Group Size 34, 700 CCA



some further online searching found...

thanks,
Matt

You can fit the group 34 battery in a 93-97. just gotta do a little trimming on the battery tray.

They changed the upper rad hose around that year too, I'd assume so they could fit a bit bigger battery in there. Do a google image search and you'll see the difference.

I have a 34/78 size Optima in my 96, stock hold down and it barely touches the top hose...
