Wagoneer battery? Maybe not!

I have been reading of several owners who have experienced dead battery issues. There has been speculation that it is in earlier builds that “sat” in storage. Could any of you share the approximate build dates if you had such an issue? We saw ours was built 11/21 and delivered to dealer 12/2.

They were telling me that the batteries were built too early. IDK

I'm over 3 weeks in with W/III. So far - not one hiccup with battery. ~Skipper

We purchased our Wagoneer SIII from the dealer inventory. Just before purchase, they replaced the battery. 2 weeks later, the battery died and had to be jumped. While it's in for its 4 week service currently, they replaced the battery again. I've heard the battery problems is electrical but doesn't happen to everyone.

at some point - have you had the dialog of the dealer/FCA/Stellantis swapping this out?
