- Frustrated your Jeep Renegade has a weak battery and/or the 12 Volt socket in the rear hatch only works when the key is on? Here's how to upgrade to an Optima Yellow Top Battery and add a fuse to enable the rear 12V power socket to work full time, even when your Renegade is not running, so you can run a 12V fridge/freezer unit.

Yellow Top Optima Battery on Amazon for the Jeep Renegade: amzn.to/3iSBk9M
Seems counter productive and a very easy set-up to overdraw power from your battery.
I built a camp kitchen with an onboard AGM battery and solar panel that I swap the fridge over to for power. Will eventually upgrade the camp kitchen to lithium for more power. Renegade keeps low power fridge running for short durations
Straight and to-the-point, thanks for posting this. Just had to swap the battery in my '21 Trailhawk
Thanks for the comment Chris happy to hear this battery swap video worked out for you
Subscribed. Great channel. I have an 18 TH and have bee researching kitchen builds. Your channel explains in detail what you did to build and install your kitchen. KUDOS
Thank you appreciate your comment :)
Thank you for the battery tip 🙏 I just purchased it today and get it tomorrow.
Awesome!
Very impressive! I own a 2017 Rene and was looking for info on the built in power specs. Great video and I’ll subscribe. :)
Thanks Aaron!
Awesome video Great work !
you should offer this build as a kit.
Thats a good idea...I've been considering doing so :)
@@Savagecamper Let me know. At some I might be interested in exploring that option. I think I would want to make a few changes...but overall a fine build.
Another questions, I’d like to also make the center console rear outlet all time active, do you know where I can locate the fuse for that outlet and what type of fuse I need?
My 2016 Trailhwk came with an EFB stop/start battery, not AGM.
Interesting...does your Renegade have the auto start/stop feature? Mine does not...
@@Savagecamper Yes. It only works if the battery (I have an AGM fitted now) is fully charged.
I accidentally took off the the top left terminal off (with two red connecting wires) and it out my vehicle in some kinda safety mode where it doesn’t crank but all other power works … I haven’t been able to figure it out yet
Sorry to hear hopefully you get it figured out with too much effort. Would be interested to know myself. Thanks for the comment.
Did you figure out what happened? I have a 2018 that needs a new battery but I've heard it can mess up other stuff if settings aren't backed up.
QUESTION did you use jumper cables to start car or booster pack i was told it would damage rengade electronics jumpstarting?
It doesn't. I use a Noco jump starter to get the Rene running again after my lame cooler has run the battery down over a werkend. I really need to get a leisure battery.
For the rear 12v port, if the car is turned off but nothing is plugged in the port to draw out power, would it still draw out power even if there isn’t anything plugged into it? Thanks!
Hi Jonathan the rear 12V socket will not draw power without plugging something into it.
@@Savagecamper thank you for your quick response! Needed the answer today because I want to be able to charge my devices while I’m out for a short hikes! Have a great day!
Thank god that belt tie down isnt a 10mm
Fantastic…until you run the battery down. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I ended up building a camp kitchen that included an AGM battery and solar panel to avoid draining the Renegade battery
