Just installed my Gen 3. I followed along with this video as I did the install. It went in perfect. There’s only a few things I will add to it. Before putting in the new battery tray, bend your dipstick tube towards the engine. The clearance is a little tight unless you do. The last one is be careful when installing accessory cables, the top plate is grounded. 😅.
Thank you for the feedback! You are correct about the dipstick, it is easy to bend it towards the engine slightly. Sorry we forgot to mention that in this video. It was included in our original video before the Gen 3 kit was released. And you are correct that the top plate is grounded, since the tray is bolted to the body, and the lid is bolted to the tray, it does conduct to the body ground, but then again, so is the fender, and hood, and engine, etc.
Sat, 14Sep2024 finished Gen3 Dual Battery Kit today... video helped, factory junk positive battery terminal shattered while tightening other than that, three hours slow paced + cleaning 55k Mi. of road grime while working... G-screen and new accessory bus cargo outlets next, after Church Sunday.
I swear this is so awesome that Jeeps should come from the factory like this instead of the ridiculous motorcycle battery system. I can’t imagine how much it would suck to be stranded somewhere and having to screw around with that ridiculous OEM setup in the event of battery failure when a system such as this is so much better. It is insane how vehicles are built now. Compare the engine compartment of a JL with that of a YJ for example. There used to be so much more room and everything so much simpler. I currently drive a JKU and dread the eventual trade in for a JL and long for the simplicity of my YJ.
Yep, you can thank the EPA and their retarded policies that are not even constitutional! They are just a thug three letter agency, that is making laws, with no accountability & reports to no one. YJ's and TJ's are awesome. Easy to work on.
I ordered the two batteries version for my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with the ignition on wire and terminal kit. The batteries were showing on back order . Anyway I like the video showing how to install the battery box and ignition wire.
😊Thanks a $Million$ for the best detaled RUclips instructional I've ever watched. Just in time for my new to me '21 Gladiator Mojave's oil, filter, & o-ring chg @ 28,275 miles. I purchased it 12/2024, with 22K mi, showing. The Oil Chg indicator just showed up and the guage showed 3% life. I hope to get closer to 10K miles using a Mobil 1, 20K - Ext'd mileage filter and fully synthetic oil, in the next 12 mos. 😅
The lasfit kit has a sigle or duel switch set for gladiators that don't have the locker switch bank from the factory. The black auxiliary switches are on the battery side
I know he did it in 28 minutes but it would take me 28 hours. I have their earlier kit on my JKU and it is awesome having two batteries. Love the screen so I can keep track of voltage inside the cab at all times.
Although this is a nice aftermarket system and provides cleanliness to what could be a mess of wires I just can't see spending basically a grand to have the complete system with digital battery display ... it's a steel battery tray with a multi connection point top tray and a digital tag out for voltage , by the time you buy everything needed to install dual batteries your dam near two G's and I for one can think of plenty of items I'd buy first ... but to each his own right ! Great install video tho .. .
Yes, and we can certainly understand the concern. The cost of every single component has gone WAY up over the past couple years, along with everything else everywhere. The price is where it must be for us to operate a business. We have kits in stock for quick shipping when you're ready!
Please help me make sure I understand this. So I would be deleting that aux start/stop battery and the crank battery now takes over the duties of the deleted aux battery? The start/stop system still works correctly and there are no dash lights or any fuses I have to pull?
Your main battery is not monitored by the battery sensor if you put the negative cable on top of the sensor. That cable needs to be on the battery side of the sensor and NOT connected to the bus bar.
I am a little confused: In the video you state that on the JL the factory accessories run from the factory aux battery. The starter cable is connected to the Factory main battery. When you are wiring the system it looks to me like you are hooking the positive cable that was attached to the aux battery to the cranking battery and the positive cable that was connected to the factory main battery to the main battery as well. Wouldn't you want to connect the cable that was going to the aux battery to the accessory battery so it can run the factory accessories?

i installed mine today on 2021 jl didnt have the second battery but I installed the gen 3 kit . only thing i had a problem with was removing the four fuse blocks.i struggled with these for about 10 min then i saw the four 7mm bolts that (you)didnt remove. i thought i had told you to remove these anyway as long as you do follow the steps all went well for 75 YEAR OLD guy turning wrenches
@@iliketocamp1342 every time ive looked under hood while it was in the basement where the lights are dimmer than outside i see the light on the switch lite up
Could I also remove the small box that holding the small aux battery, since it’s not being used, I’m worried rats might create a little nest in there coz the aux battery will no longer be there. Also do you guys ship to Canada? Also I have the new 2024 Jeep Willys, is this battery kit compatible for my Jeep? Currently I don’t have a lot of accessories added on to my Jeep, however during winter, I tend to use more of the heating accessories than any added aftermarket lighting(which I don’t have, everything is stock: including all led lighting that came with the Jeep). Which of these two would you recommend then? Would the Full Throttle one be better since I use up more of the Jeeps interior accessories, or did you mean in terms of other accessories, like winch, refrigerator, air compressor, etc…(I have none of that).
Yes the entire stock plastic battery tray gets removed including the area that held the small aux battery. You can see that around the 13:08 mark. We do ship to Canada. Our website will show you some shipping rate options before you checkout. Please be aware that our website is not able to calculate any additional import duties or fees that the Customs office may add when it crosses the border. There were no changes to the battery compartment area for the 2024 models, so yours should look just like this video. We have lots of customers that run our dual battery kit even without hardly any aftermarket accessories. You'll still benefit from getting rid of the small aux battery, and be able to jump start yourself if your cranking battery gets too low to start the engine. Then later if you do add some accessories, those things will be able to run from the second battery and will not drain your cranking battery. We carry Odyssey and Full Throttle batteries. Both are excellent high quality batteries, you can't go wrong with either one. The Full Throttle one does have a little bit more capacity than the Odyssey though. Hope this helps! -Shane
Installed this on my 2020 Gladiator and it is great addition to my vehicle, piece of mind when using my winch or accessories, you video was very helpful while installing the system.
You can email us your zip code and we'll respond with the nearest installer. The short answer to the warranty question is no. For more details, please watch this video clip - ruclips.net/video/tRe2Mjps0sg/видео.html
correct me if I wrong,, you hooked the positove from the aux battery to the new cranking battery positive.. but left the aux battery negative taped up and disconnected... explain ? (please)
Just ordered this. My batteries just went kaput so yeah. Went with the odyssey's, i don't run that many accessories. Is there a demo for how to change out batteries when the time arises?
I'm curious about adding a power inverter to this setup as well. I think a 2000W one would be great for powering tools or cooking appliances, but I'm finding conflicting information online about the feasibility of running it off the 64 Ah batteries. Will the batteries have any staying power under heavy draw from the inverter? Will the alternator be able to keep up with current demands? It also might be cool if you folks developed a mounting solution for a large inverter.
I have a 21’ Rubicon with the eTorque V-6. Do you need to take out the fuse box to install the dual battery tray? I run a winch and several off road lights so I want to double up my battery power for when I’m out off roading.
Just finished the install on my jl! Is there any videos showing how or if to do a rewiring on aux wires so when I plug in like my fridge to my rear jeep car plug it’ll be safe?
A fantastic instructional video, well filmed and the fast forward segments are excellent! I have no accessories (yet), but love the idea of having two accessible batteries. My 2019 start/stop feature is only working 50 percent of the time and I'm thinking the aux battery health isn't great..... could I just buy the tray ?
You mention that the wiring for the factory aux battery is different for pre 2021 models vs post 2021 models. Do you have a cutoff date of when this change was made in 2021? or any easy way to identify which setup mine is? I have a 2021 model so it could be either.
that battery under the back seat is used to provide extra power to get the vehicle rolling from a stop, so that's a completely different purpose. You can install our dual battery system under the hood to be able to run your electrical accessories with the engine off without draining the cranking battery. It will not affect the mild hybrid system functionality at all.
I've installed a lasfit auxiliary switch bank on the fender by the factory battery. Will the duel battery tray and system work with this installed or will it need to be moved ? Great video.
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that kit. I just looked it up on their website and the only pictures I saw under the hood had the device mounted by the brake booster. Was yours a custom installation?
I want this. I have a switch pro sp9100 JL kit. it mounts by the ground wires inside the fender. will this be an issue with fitment of the genesis tray? or do you have solutions if it does?
My air box wouldn't come out at all lol. I ended up just pushing back on the rubber duct so I could jam my socket wrench in between it and the fender. Also for those considering this: You'll want a power tool to undo the bolts. Unless you want a good upper arm workout. XD Have fun!
I guess if you install the Genesis Gen 3 dual Batteries on a 22 JLU you won't be able to use the Voswitch JL120 12 Switch Power Control System, since it mounts on the right side above the Factory Battery ?
How difficult would it be to rewire the polarity on this kit? In other words, I have 2 Dakota Lithium batteries (135Ah) that fit perfectly in your dual tray, but the terminals are reversed. Are the attached battery cables able to be changed to a longer/shorter size? Any thoughts? Does the entire cover come off to access where the cables attach to your system?
The problem is that your factory positive and negative post clamps do not have any slack on them at all, so they will not reach over to the other side of the battery if you have the posts reversed. We have had some customers who added a one foot long battery cable onto the stock post clamps to extend them over to the other side. It will work, but it will look really messy, and you'll have to be very careful that your factory clamps do not touch the wrong posts on the batteries - your factory positive would end up being right next to the negative post on your battery. This is why we specify Group 25 batteries are required. All the wires will fall perfectly into the right place. Also, the top plastic cover is not intended to be removed because there are no end-user serviceable parts under there. Changing any of the wires under the cover will void your warranty.
I have a battery trickle charger and a RVi tow controller that will keep the starting battery from being discharged. If I install these items to the top fittings, will they charge both batteries or only the aux battery ?
Yes you can connect the trickle charger to the bus bars and it will charge both batteries. I'm assuming your tow controller has a low voltage cutoff feature. That's fine, just connect it to our bus bars. Our system will protect the cranking battery from being drained down by anything that is connected to the bus bars.
The positive wire from the small battery will be connected to the positive of the cranking battery. The negative wire from the small battery is not reused.
@@GenesisOffroad aren’t you basically doing an AUX battery delete by not utilizing the AUX negative cable? Please explain if this new set up makes the Accessory battery the new AUX battery or if the AUX battery is now 100% eliminated. Thanks
@@omarvilla7476 Allow me to clarify. When we say we are eliminating the aux battery, what we mean is we are not reusing the small factory battery under the fuse box. We are adding a second full sized battery which will be the new aux battery in our configuration. The one closest to the fuse box is the cranking battery, and the one towards the front of the vehicle is the new aux battery. The factory negative cable originally went from the small battery up to the big battery's negative post. Our kit comes with a new heavy duty cable that links the 2 negative posts together, so therefore the original cable is no longer needed. You can see more details on that in the video at the 22:12 mark. I hope this helps!
1/30/2023 Does this system work with any of the xs power battery line up , possibly group 24 xs power , I’ve been running xs power for many years , and I’m a xs power fan boy , please help me ! I really wanna buy this system !! But this the only thing stopping me !!
The brand doesn't matter, it just has to be a Group 25 size to fit into our tray and also so that the factory wires line up properly with the posts. For more details, watch this video - ruclips.net/video/JopB0I1CRzY/видео.html
Let's say at stop sign and start running as you go faster is the solenoid making some sound slowing down solenoid sound stop, is this happen to your dual battery set up?
No, our dual battery system will not make any noise like that. It will make a very noticeable click sounds when it connects or disconnects the batteries, but that's all.
No, the Wrangler 392 kit is different. We expect to launch the 392 kit very soon. Check this page for availability details - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-diesel-jl-dual-battery-kit
I have to do a battery kit for my Jeep JL the Gen 3 and I'm wondering I just replaced my alternator cuz my other one wasn't charging the batteries now I'm noticing that every once in a while it won't start unless I lift it lid go out and turn connect both batteries then it will start. I'm wondering if that fuse that connects the sensor wire from the Gen 3 to my fuse box could be blown or because my alternator had failed do you think maybe I have a bad cranking battery?
Based on the brief info here, it sounds like your cranking battery may be low. Do you have the G Screen to check its voltage? If not, a handheld voltmeter would help verify. If it is indeed low, just put it on a battery charger overnight (one that can put out at least 20 amps) and then check it again. Our engine on sensor cable will prevent the smart isolator from separating the batteries while you are driving. If that cable were not working properly, then you may see the accessory battery going low. The cranking battery gets power from the alternator all the time. Hope this helps. If you need to talk through it more, please give us a call. 901-214-5337
@@advapp AGM batteries are fully charged at 12.83v. If it is down below about 11.8 or 11.9, then the engine probably won't start. If it's not starting the engine, you'd definitely want to charge it. Then for general maintenance, if you see it below about 12.3 or so, it would probably be beneficial to throw a charger on it overnight to top it off. That will help extend the lifespan of your battery.
@@GenesisOffroad why wouldn't my alternator charge it That's my question? Cuz it's brand new and I look inside my gauges on my JL and it shows 14 to 14.5 volts charging?
@@GenesisOffroad and I know it's not your system I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it because it's hard to Google this you know cuz most people don't have dual batteries.... When I go to test it if I just turn the switch to off which would disconnect the batteries would that be a good way to test it or should I just remove the terminals all together off the crank off the accessory battery?
No. For right hand drive JLs, we'd recommend our new kit that puts the second battery and the electronics under the back seat - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-diesel-jl-dual-battery-kit
When we come up with new features for the G Screen that are solely software based, then we do those upgrades for free. If the new features requires a change to the hardware, such as when we added the port for plugging in the optional air pressure sensor cable, then there will be a small fee for swapping out the hardware, but we try to keep that as minimal as possible.
Yes, you can upgrade your existing kit to the new Gen 3 Power Hub. Here's a brief video about that - ruclips.net/video/rG_FAdel8sI/видео.html and you can order the power hub upgrade here - www.genesisoffroad.com/25-power-hub
The short answer is no. For more information about that, please watch this clip from our 'Top 9 Questions' video - ruclips.net/video/tRe2Mjps0sg/видео.html
Our kit links the batteries in parallel, which keeps it a 12v system. There are aftermarket devices that can convert 12v to 24v. You can connect that to our bus bars so that your 24v accessories would not drain down your cranking battery.
We don't have a dual battery tray for under the hood of the right hand drive JL, but you can use our new kit that puts the second battery and the electronics under the back seat. You can see that kit here - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-diesel-jl-dual-battery-kit
Lithium batteries have several benefits, but also several drawbacks. They do not like high temperatures, and they cannot be charged at below freezing temperatures. They also don't like high amp draws, such as when using a winch. For those reasons, we feel AGM is still the best choice especially for our kits that put 2 batteries under the hood.
The engine compartment is way to hot for lithium batteries. Even more important is that if your "2" batteries are heavily discharged, the current acceptance rate of the lithium batteries will overheat your alternator and destroy it. Several videos on You Tube about this. A Jeep Wrangler is not an acceptable use for lithium batteries even if you add a DC-DC charge controller.@@GenesisOffroad
when the green light is on it simply means the batteries are connected together. They will remain connected until they drop below approx 12.7v. Then the light turns off to indicate the batteries are isolated. For more details check it this video which talks in depth about the green light as well as the G Screen. ruclips.net/video/4TO7FXf_GLs/видео.html
If the engine on sensor cable is so important, why are you making it a $15 option? Since we're spending $700 for the system, it seems cheap to not just include it in the kit.
Excellent question! The reason we made it an optional add on rather than including it in every kit is because most other vehicles do not need it. We have only had a handful of customers with the JL/JT report the issue with the alternator turning down its output low enough to cause the isolator to separate the batteries while driving. Therefore we didn’t want every customer to have to pay for the sensor cable, in an effort to keep the price as low as we could.
After looking at their pictures on this page - store.switchpros.com/jeep-jl-jt-mounting-kit-19-23/ it looks like their bracket hangs down into the space that is consumed by the batteries in our kit. I'd recommend talking to them about alternate mounting options. Perhaps it could be mounted on the firewall over the fuse box.
@@GenesisOffroad you can reverse the bracket and mount it to the driverside. I did this on my Jl and ran the wires needed for it through the factory channel over to the battery. I believe they now make a bracket that will also move it to the firewall on the Riverside instead.
Yes. Think of it just like your alternator. Connect your charger to the factory positive clamp and the factory negative clamp, and it will charge both batteries. See this video for more details - ruclips.net/video/nRfTcgbDALM/видео.htmlfeature=shared
We do not do any labor for customers, however, your local 4x4 shop will typically bill you for 2 hours of labor to install this dual battery kit on a stock vehicle.
We haven't had an opportunity to check that yet, but I'd say it probably will work. The Gen 3 version is very nearly the same physical footprint as our earlier model, so it should work. When we get confirmation of that, we will add that info to the 'Fitment' tab on the website here - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-jl-dual-battery-kit#tab-7

Yeah just installed mine two weeks ago. Asked them the same question got a thumbs up 👍🏻 no response. After spending $1400.00 kind of makes you feel ripped off.
@@photoapeal Why? The Gen 2 kits are still available, and they are still as high quality today as they were 2 weeks ago. As far as timing with the new kit, it's one of those things like buying a new cell phone and then the next day a new model comes out. Just how it is sometimes, but doesn't mean the original phone is obsolete or anything.
@@GenesisOffroad You feel like you just purchased the lesser model since improvements or fixes came out within a few days of your purchase and you got the older version which doesn't have those. You feel ripped off since if you had known you wouldn't have purchased the older version which is inferior to the new version as stated in your video. It was $1400 bucks in my case since I purchased the batteries with it.
@@photoapeal I hear ya. But we certainly don't want you to feel bad about your purchase. We have had several customers order the Gen 2 kit instead of the Gen 3 kit already. Partially because the Gen 2 kit is less expensive, but also partially because they had been researching our system for quite a while and decided to go for it and knew the Gen 2 would work great for their purpose.
We have kits specifically for the diesel Wranger and another one for the diesel Gladiator. Check our channel to see overview videos and detailed installation videos for both.
Why can’t you just disconnect the small battery and pull the. #42 size and disconnnect the second nd ground cable. My 2020 is going the third set of batteries. It is not n the shop as I write this. I think that if one of the batteries gets week or goes bad it drains the other battery. I hate that damn auto stop. I cannot see how it saves on fuel and it obviously will wear out the starter quicker. This is a shotty design.
Can the auto stop/start button on Jeeps be wired or pinned in the 'ON' position? I owned a 2016 F150 with the 2.7 ecoburst engine. I pulled the auto stop/start switch in the dash and installed a jumper wire in it after watching a video. With the added wire, after starting the vehicle, there was no need to manually switch it every time when getting into the truck to disable the auto start/stop feature.
The batteries are $329 each. So you think we should include two of them with the kit for $699? Which basically means the cost of the kit itself goes from $699 to $40? I don't think that's gonna work. As for the sensor cable, not every vehicle needs it, and we did not build the cost of the cable into the price of the kit. But maybe we should just charge everyone $714 for the kit, whether they need the cable or not? YIKES.
@@GenesisOffroad no I don’t think batteries should be included. But for what IS included. I think there’s wiggle room to include the $4-7 COST Sensor. It’s a very nice kit. And I don’t think your profit margin will suffer with the sensor.
I just installed my Gen 3 version today. It took me about 2.5 hours to do and that included getting my winch cables re-routed and hooked up. Doing it yourself is rewarding!
Stop- Jeep has admitted the dual battery system is one of the two biggest mistakes they have made in Jeep history. One larger battery is always less headaches then any 2 battery scenario. Nice product, apply it so a 2 engine boat. 2 batteries in a Jeep - NO. In vehicle history where do we see dual batteries? very large diesel motors, it needs them to start them. There is a reason you are pushing a dual battery scenario and everyone else is pushing the eliminate a battery scenario.
I believe you are misunderstanding the purpose of our dual battery system. You are correct that factory 2 battery setup in the new Jeeps have had a lot of problems. Our kit is different than the way the factory batteries are configured. Also our system is different than the configuration found in diesel trucks. This system is designed specifically to let you run your aftermarket accessories without draining down your cranking battery.

If you have added the aux switches, the leads for them are too thick to add the aux positive. I am doing this right now and though I was in the home stretch. I’m so freaking irritated right now. I’ll get it figured out.
@@GenesisOffroad I can send one tomorrow. I cut both rings and then was able to stretch them over the middle post. Then I was able to attach the aux positive to the post on the left. It’s all back together now. I will test tomorrow. I added my six switches after I bought the gladiator. The positive leads (2) attach to the post on the left. Makes it just hair to thick to attach the aux cable (I did flip it per instructional video). It’s all good now I think. Thank you for replying. It glooms like a great product so far.

Although this is a nice aftermarket system and provides cleanliness to what could be a mess of wires I just can't see spending basically a grand to have the complete system with digital battery display ... it's a steel battery tray with a multi connection point top tray and a digital tag out for voltage , by the time you buy everything needed to install dual batteries your dam near two G's and I for one can think of plenty of items I'd buy first ... but to each his own right ! Great install video tho .. .
Yes, and we can certainly understand the concern. The cost of every single component has gone WAY up over the past couple years, along with everything else everywhere. The price is where it must be for us to operate a business. We have kits in stock for quick shipping when you're ready!
2 grand ????????????
Please help me make sure I understand this. So I would be deleting that aux start/stop battery and the crank battery now takes over the duties of the deleted aux battery? The start/stop system still works correctly and there are no dash lights or any fuses I have to pull?
Your main battery is not monitored by the battery sensor if you put the negative cable on top of the sensor. That cable needs to be on the battery side of the sensor and NOT connected to the bus bar.
I am a little confused: In the video you state that on the JL the factory accessories run from the factory aux battery. The starter cable is connected to the Factory main battery. When you are wiring the system it looks to me like you are hooking the positive cable that was attached to the aux battery to the cranking battery and the positive cable that was connected to the factory main battery to the main battery as well. Wouldn't you want to connect the cable that was going to the aux battery to the accessory battery so it can run the factory accessories?
I wonder if this would work on 4xe.
I hope JL and JT Ecodiesels versions are coming out soon!!

Could I also remove the small box that holding the small aux battery, since it’s not being used, I’m worried rats might create a little nest in there coz the aux battery will no longer be there. Also do you guys ship to Canada? Also I have the new 2024 Jeep Willys, is this battery kit compatible for my Jeep? Currently I don’t have a lot of accessories added on to my Jeep, however during winter, I tend to use more of the heating accessories than any added aftermarket lighting(which I don’t have, everything is stock: including all led lighting that came with the Jeep). Which of these two would you recommend then? Would the Full Throttle one be better since I use up more of the Jeeps interior accessories, or did you mean in terms of other accessories, like winch, refrigerator, air compressor, etc…(I have none of that).
Yes the entire stock plastic battery tray gets removed including the area that held the small aux battery. You can see that around the 13:08 mark. We do ship to Canada. Our website will show you some shipping rate options before you checkout. Please be aware that our website is not able to calculate any additional import duties or fees that the Customs office may add when it crosses the border. There were no changes to the battery compartment area for the 2024 models, so yours should look just like this video. We have lots of customers that run our dual battery kit even without hardly any aftermarket accessories. You'll still benefit from getting rid of the small aux battery, and be able to jump start yourself if your cranking battery gets too low to start the engine. Then later if you do add some accessories, those things will be able to run from the second battery and will not drain your cranking battery. We carry Odyssey and Full Throttle batteries. Both are excellent high quality batteries, you can't go wrong with either one. The Full Throttle one does have a little bit more capacity than the Odyssey though. Hope this helps! -Shane

correct me if I wrong,, you hooked the positove from the aux battery to the new cranking battery positive.. but left the aux battery negative taped up and disconnected... explain ? (please)
what happens to the ESS (electronic Stop start) functionallity on the JT with the install of this unit ?
???
This should work with the ESS system. I asked them the same question a while back and they confirmed it.
Interesting setup. But I don’t think it will work with the Rugged Ridge snorkel. Maybe I’m wrong but from what I see it won’t.
This is what I like to know as well
Boy they sure make it easy
Just ordered this. My batteries just went kaput so yeah. Went with the odyssey's, i don't run that many accessories. Is there a demo for how to change out batteries when the time arises?
I'm curious about adding a power inverter to this setup as well. I think a 2000W one would be great for powering tools or cooking appliances, but I'm finding conflicting information online about the feasibility of running it off the 64 Ah batteries. Will the batteries have any staying power under heavy draw from the inverter? Will the alternator be able to keep up with current demands?
It also might be cool if you folks developed a mounting solution for a large inverter.
I have the OEM factory auxiliary switches on my 2023 Gladiator. Will this work with that kit?
I have a 21’ Rubicon with the eTorque V-6. Do you need to take out the fuse box to install the dual battery tray? I run a winch and several off road lights so I want to double up my battery power for when I’m out off roading.
Yes, this video will walk you through how to do it step by step.
Just finished the install on my jl!
Is there any videos showing how or if to do a rewiring on aux wires so when I plug in like my fridge to my rear jeep car plug it’ll be safe?
A fantastic instructional video, well filmed and the fast forward segments are excellent! I have no accessories (yet), but love the idea of having two accessible batteries. My 2019 start/stop feature is only working 50 percent of the time and I'm thinking the aux battery health isn't great..... could I just buy the tray ?
Yes. Our DIY kit comes with just the battery tray and a bare lid, with no wires or electronics - www.genesisoffroad.com/jl-diy-dual-battery-kit
You mention that the wiring for the factory aux battery is different for pre 2021 models vs post 2021 models. Do you have a cutoff date of when this change was made in 2021? or any easy way to identify which setup mine is? I have a 2021 model so it could be either.
I have the mild hybrid with the battery under the jeep . Any solution for removing that and using dual batteries up top
that battery under the back seat is used to provide extra power to get the vehicle rolling from a stop, so that's a completely different purpose. You can install our dual battery system under the hood to be able to run your electrical accessories with the engine off without draining the cranking battery. It will not affect the mild hybrid system functionality at all.
I've installed a lasfit auxiliary switch bank on the fender by the factory battery. Will the duel battery tray and system work with this installed or will it need to be moved ? Great video.
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that kit. I just looked it up on their website and the only pictures I saw under the hood had the device mounted by the brake booster. Was yours a custom installation?
I want this. I have a switch pro sp9100 JL kit. it mounts by the ground wires inside the fender. will this be an issue with fitment of the genesis tray? or do you have solutions if it does?
Its this system are available or compatible for e-torque V6 JL Models?
Yes, the kit and the install process is the same for the e-torque models.
My air box wouldn't come out at all lol. I ended up just pushing back on the rubber duct so I could jam my socket wrench in between it and the fender. Also for those considering this: You'll want a power tool to undo the bolts. Unless you want a good upper arm workout. XD Have fun!
I guess if you install the Genesis Gen 3 dual Batteries on a 22 JLU you won't be able to use the Voswitch JL120 12 Switch Power Control System, since it mounts on the right side above the Factory Battery ?
You'd need to relocate it somewhere else.
Will this setup handle a 3000W sound system with a good bit of accessories?
When will this be available on Northridge 4x4? Dont want to pay $100 for shipping.
Wow!! I wouldn’t buy it just for the fact that it’s $100 shipping!
Thanks!
Still waiting on one for the JL and JT 3.0 eco Diesel
Diesel JT kits should be shipping by 3rd or 4th week of October. Diesel / 392 Wrangler kits should be available in November.
Will the gen 2 work with switch pros for a JLUR? I was worried about the space needed for the mounting bracket
Yes we have lots of customers running the switch pros box with our kit. The owner of Switch Pros also uses our kit.
How difficult would it be to rewire the polarity on this kit? In other words, I have 2 Dakota Lithium batteries (135Ah) that fit perfectly in your dual tray, but the terminals are reversed. Are the attached battery cables able to be changed to a longer/shorter size? Any thoughts? Does the entire cover come off to access where the cables attach to your system?
The problem is that your factory positive and negative post clamps do not have any slack on them at all, so they will not reach over to the other side of the battery if you have the posts reversed. We have had some customers who added a one foot long battery cable onto the stock post clamps to extend them over to the other side. It will work, but it will look really messy, and you'll have to be very careful that your factory clamps do not touch the wrong posts on the batteries - your factory positive would end up being right next to the negative post on your battery. This is why we specify Group 25 batteries are required. All the wires will fall perfectly into the right place. Also, the top plastic cover is not intended to be removed because there are no end-user serviceable parts under there. Changing any of the wires under the cover will void your warranty.
I have a battery trickle charger and a RVi tow controller that will keep the starting battery from being discharged. If I install these items to the top fittings, will they charge both batteries or only the aux battery ?
Yes you can connect the trickle charger to the bus bars and it will charge both batteries. I'm assuming your tow controller has a low voltage cutoff feature. That's fine, just connect it to our bus bars. Our system will protect the cranking battery from being drained down by anything that is connected to the bus bars.
So, it’s my understanding that the positive and negative terminals from the aux battery be connected to the main battery…for a 2021 Gladiator?
The positive wire from the small battery will be connected to the positive of the cranking battery. The negative wire from the small battery is not reused.
@@GenesisOffroad aren’t you basically doing an AUX battery delete by not utilizing the AUX negative cable? Please explain if this new set up makes the Accessory battery the new AUX battery or if the AUX battery is now 100% eliminated. Thanks
@@omarvilla7476 Allow me to clarify. When we say we are eliminating the aux battery, what we mean is we are not reusing the small factory battery under the fuse box. We are adding a second full sized battery which will be the new aux battery in our configuration. The one closest to the fuse box is the cranking battery, and the one towards the front of the vehicle is the new aux battery. The factory negative cable originally went from the small battery up to the big battery's negative post. Our kit comes with a new heavy duty cable that links the 2 negative posts together, so therefore the original cable is no longer needed. You can see more details on that in the video at the 22:12 mark. I hope this helps!
Are the openings for the factory Aux switches in the car?

Does this system work with any of the xs power battery line up , possibly group 24 xs power , I’ve been running xs power for many years , and I’m a xs power fan boy , please help me ! I really wanna buy this system !! But this the only thing stopping me !!
The brand doesn't matter, it just has to be a Group 25 size to fit into our tray and also so that the factory wires line up properly with the posts. For more details, watch this video - ruclips.net/video/JopB0I1CRzY/видео.html
Let's say at stop sign and start running as you go faster is the solenoid making some sound slowing down solenoid sound stop, is this happen to your dual battery set up?
No, our dual battery system will not make any noise like that. It will make a very noticeable click sounds when it connects or disconnects the batteries, but that's all.
I’m a big fan of Interstate batteries. Could I use a group 25 Interstate battery?

@@GenesisOffroad but they don't have them in AGM I am told.

My wrangler 392 is gas - will this work with that ?
No, the Wrangler 392 kit is different. We expect to launch the 392 kit very soon. Check this page for availability details - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-diesel-jl-dual-battery-kit
How would this fair in the desert? will constant heat kill the little unit on top of the batteries?
All the components in our kit are rated for under hood temperatures, up to 105c, or 221F.
Does the Wrangler's start/stop feature still work with this dual battery setup? I'm assuming the answer is yes, but I figured I would ask anyway.
yes
I have to do a battery kit for my Jeep JL the Gen 3 and I'm wondering I just replaced my alternator cuz my other one wasn't charging the batteries now I'm noticing that every once in a while it won't start unless I lift it lid go out and turn connect both batteries then it will start. I'm wondering if that fuse that connects the sensor wire from the Gen 3 to my fuse box could be blown or because my alternator had failed do you think maybe I have a bad cranking battery?
Based on the brief info here, it sounds like your cranking battery may be low. Do you have the G Screen to check its voltage? If not, a handheld voltmeter would help verify. If it is indeed low, just put it on a battery charger overnight (one that can put out at least 20 amps) and then check it again. Our engine on sensor cable will prevent the smart isolator from separating the batteries while you are driving. If that cable were not working properly, then you may see the accessory battery going low. The cranking battery gets power from the alternator all the time. Hope this helps. If you need to talk through it more, please give us a call. 901-214-5337
@@GenesisOffroad what would be considered low?
@@advapp AGM batteries are fully charged at 12.83v. If it is down below about 11.8 or 11.9, then the engine probably won't start. If it's not starting the engine, you'd definitely want to charge it. Then for general maintenance, if you see it below about 12.3 or so, it would probably be beneficial to throw a charger on it overnight to top it off. That will help extend the lifespan of your battery.
@@GenesisOffroad why wouldn't my alternator charge it That's my question? Cuz it's brand new and I look inside my gauges on my JL and it shows 14 to 14.5 volts charging?
@@GenesisOffroad and I know it's not your system I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it because it's hard to Google this you know cuz most people don't have dual batteries.... When I go to test it if I just turn the switch to off which would disconnect the batteries would that be a good way to test it or should I just remove the terminals all together off the crank off the accessory battery?
This compatible with a Redarc system
Will this kit fit right hand drive JL’s with the batteries located on the opposite side to the US wrangler?
No. For right hand drive JLs, we'd recommend our new kit that puts the second battery and the electronics under the back seat - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-diesel-jl-dual-battery-kit
Will we have to pay for firmware upgrades down the road or will you offer them at no charge for your early adopting customers?
When we come up with new features for the G Screen that are solely software based, then we do those upgrades for free. If the new features requires a change to the hardware, such as when we added the port for plugging in the optional air pressure sensor cable, then there will be a small fee for swapping out the hardware, but we try to keep that as minimal as possible.
I have a dual battery kit in my JL right now would The power hub be able to be installed on it?
Yes, you can upgrade your existing kit to the new Gen 3 Power Hub. Here's a brief video about that - ruclips.net/video/rG_FAdel8sI/видео.html and you can order the power hub upgrade here - www.genesisoffroad.com/25-power-hub
Does it effect the factory warranty?
Any kit for ecodeisel JL wrangler? Just see JT kit on website. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's the diesel/392 kit for the Wrangler - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-diesel-jl-dual-battery-kit
Are there any issues with the stock alternator charging both batteries?
The short answer is no. For more information about that, please watch this clip from our 'Top 9 Questions' video - ruclips.net/video/tRe2Mjps0sg/видео.html
Will this run 24v accessories? Also will the Gen 3 work with the AmFib snorkel for the JL/JT?
Our kit links the batteries in parallel, which keeps it a 12v system. There are aftermarket devices that can convert 12v to 24v. You can connect that to our bus bars so that your 24v accessories would not drain down your cranking battery.
Can this be wired so that we can finally dumb the aux battery?
Our system eliminates the small aux battery and gives you a second full size battery.
Any luck with this working with the Australian version of the Jeep JL?
We don't have a dual battery tray for under the hood of the right hand drive JL, but you can use our new kit that puts the second battery and the electronics under the back seat. You can see that kit here - www.genesisoffroad.com/gen3-diesel-jl-dual-battery-kit
Can negative wire from small battery be connected to negative on large one.
That is not necessary.
@@GenesisOffroad but can it be? Even if not necessary?
@@jojobernard625 Sure. It would just create a loop, that's all. Certainly won't hurt anything though.
What do you think about lithium batteries?
Lithium batteries have several benefits, but also several drawbacks. They do not like high temperatures, and they cannot be charged at below freezing temperatures. They also don't like high amp draws, such as when using a winch. For those reasons, we feel AGM is still the best choice especially for our kits that put 2 batteries under the hood.
The engine compartment is way to hot for lithium batteries. Even more important is that if your "2" batteries are heavily discharged, the current acceptance rate of the lithium batteries will overheat your alternator and destroy it. Several videos on You Tube about this. A Jeep Wrangler is not an acceptable use for lithium batteries even if you add a DC-DC charge controller.@@GenesisOffroad
@@ronrosenberg4058 good points.

Should the green light stay on???? I installed mine yesterday and the light is still on this morning.
when the green light is on it simply means the batteries are connected together. They will remain connected until they drop below approx 12.7v. Then the light turns off to indicate the batteries are isolated. For more details check it this video which talks in depth about the green light as well as the G Screen. ruclips.net/video/4TO7FXf_GLs/видео.html
@@GenesisOffroad I was just worried, thanks
Can you hook something up to stop the start start option ???? So annoying
We recommend using the Tazer from Z Automotive for disabling the stop/start system - www.zautomotive.com/product/z_tzr_jlm/#camera-kit
If the engine on sensor cable is so important, why are you making it a $15 option?
Since we're spending $700 for the system, it seems cheap to not just include it in the kit.
Excellent question! The reason we made it an optional add on rather than including it in every kit is because most other vehicles do not need it. We have only had a handful of customers with the JL/JT report the issue with the alternator turning down its output low enough to cause the isolator to separate the batteries while driving. Therefore we didn’t want every customer to have to pay for the sensor cable, in an effort to keep the price as low as we could.
I have a switch pro in my JT will it fit after installation
After looking at their pictures on this page - store.switchpros.com/jeep-jl-jt-mounting-kit-19-23/ it looks like their bracket hangs down into the space that is consumed by the batteries in our kit. I'd recommend talking to them about alternate mounting options. Perhaps it could be mounted on the firewall over the fuse box.
@@GenesisOffroad ok thanks I’ll check into it
@@GenesisOffroad you can reverse the bracket and mount it to the driverside. I did this on my Jl and ran the wires needed for it through the factory channel over to the battery. I believe they now make a bracket that will also move it to the firewall on the Riverside instead.
When you put a trickle charger on the Jeep JL battery does it also charge the auxiliary battery? Thanks
Yes. Think of it just like your alternator. Connect your charger to the factory positive clamp and the factory negative clamp, and it will charge both batteries. See this video for more details - ruclips.net/video/nRfTcgbDALM/видео.htmlfeature=shared

@@photoapeal Why? The Gen 2 kits are still available, and they are still as high quality today as they were 2 weeks ago.

Just how it is sometimes, but doesn't mean the original phone is obsolete or anything.
@@GenesisOffroad You feel like you just purchased the lesser model since improvements or fixes came out within a few days of your purchase and you got the older version which doesn't have those. You feel ripped off since if you had known you wouldn't have purchased the older version which is inferior to the new version as stated in your video. It was $1400 bucks in my case since I purchased the batteries with it.
@@photoapeal I hear ya. But we certainly don't want you to feel bad about your purchase. We have had several customers order the Gen 2 kit instead of the Gen 3 kit already. Partially because the Gen 2 kit is less expensive, but also partially because they had been researching our system for quite a while and decided to go for it and knew the Gen 2 would work great for their purpose.
DOES THIS WORK FOR DEISEL
We have kits specifically for the diesel Wranger and another one for the diesel Gladiator. Check our channel to see overview videos and detailed installation videos for both.
CAN YOU USE LITHIUM
Great instructions. I probably would have been able to complete the job quicker if my Jeep was as clean and low.😂
Why can’t you just disconnect the small battery and pull the. #42 size and disconnnect the second nd ground cable. My 2020 is going the third set of batteries. It is not n the shop as I write this. I think that if one of the batteries gets week or goes bad it drains the other battery. I hate that damn auto stop. I cannot see how it saves on fuel and it obviously will wear out the starter quicker. This is a shotty design.
Can the auto stop/start button on Jeeps be wired or pinned in the 'ON' position?
I owned a 2016 F150 with the 2.7 ecoburst engine. I pulled the auto stop/start switch in the dash and installed a jumper wire in it after watching a video. With the added wire, after starting the vehicle, there was no need to manually switch it every time when getting into the truck to disable the auto start/stop feature.
Quite pricey with the batteries. $600 for the batteries and $700 for the kit if anyone was wondering...
We have plenty of kits and batteries in stock when you’re ready!
Grooming?
Well, this violate warranty
$699 with NO batteries. And then you have the sack to charge an extra $15 for a sensor. YIKES
The batteries are $329 each. So you think we should include two of them with the kit for $699? Which basically means the cost of the kit itself goes from $699 to $40? I don't think that's gonna work. As for the sensor cable, not every vehicle needs it, and we did not build the cost of the cable into the price of the kit. But maybe we should just charge everyone $714 for the kit, whether they need the cable or not? YIKES.
@@GenesisOffroad no I don’t think batteries should be included. But for what IS included. I think there’s wiggle room to include the $4-7 COST Sensor. It’s a very nice kit. And I don’t think your profit margin will suffer with the sensor.
UGH...too much work....LOL
That’s ok! You could have your local shop that you trust do the install for you. They will only bill 2 hours of labor for installation.
I just installed my Gen 3 version today. It took me about 2.5 hours to do and that included getting my winch cables re-routed and hooked up. Doing it yourself is rewarding!
Stop- Jeep has admitted the dual battery system is one of the two biggest mistakes they have made in Jeep history. One larger battery is always less headaches then any 2 battery scenario. Nice product, apply it so a 2 engine boat. 2 batteries in a Jeep - NO. In vehicle history where do we see dual batteries? very large diesel motors, it needs them to start them. There is a reason you are pushing a dual battery scenario and everyone else is pushing the eliminate a battery scenario.
I believe you are misunderstanding the purpose of our dual battery system. You are correct that factory 2 battery setup in the new Jeeps have had a lot of problems. Our kit is different than the way the factory batteries are configured. Also our system is different than the configuration found in diesel trucks.
