Varta reckon you want a type 096. Yuasa reckon you want an 010. Midac
think you want a 56318. To be honest they're pretty much equivalent -
Midac's DIN type 56318 is 63Ah, 510A EN, 300A DIN, Varta's is 74 Ah,
680A EN.
>Mine is a "Heros" 6HN6 Type 58026 - 12V 80Ah

That's a "better" battery (more Ah and more amps) than Midac's
recommendation, and only slightly less amps than Varta recommends. In
my opinion it should be up to the job.

IMO the problem you describe isn't likely to be a battery problem,
it's an electrical fault elsewhere on your JGC resulting in a
parasitic load.

I would humbly suggest that the dealer is talking from his or her
nether regions. Even if your battery wasn't powerful enough, the
dealer's explanation is quite frankly ludicrous.

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee battery question
if your battery is not of the sealed type, place it on charge for 6 hours
then test each cell with a Durometer.
while a spark test will appear to show a good battery, the only way is the
correct SG of the liquid in each cell.
