The exact size can vary by engine option and equipment, but Group Size 94R is the most common replacement for the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi versions in the Limited trim. Always verify the correct size by checking the current battery label or the owner’s manual.
Common battery size and specifications
Below are the most common battery options you’ll encounter when replacing a 2017 Grand Cherokee Limited battery:
- Group Size 94R: 12V lead-acid maintenance-free battery, typically rated around 850 CCA with a Reserve Capacity (RC) near 120 minutes.
- Alternative 94R variants: Many OEM and aftermarket batteries of Group Size 94R offer similar CCA (800–900) and RC (115–125), but may differ in dimensions or terminal layout.
In practice, choose a battery with Group Size 94R and at least 800–900 CCA to ensure reliable starts in varying weather. Always confirm exact specs from the battery label or a parts lookup tied to your VIN.

To be certain you buy the right battery, use your VIN and vehicle specs when shopping, and compare to the existing battery:
- Check the battery label on your current unit for group size, CCA, and RC.
- Consult the owner's manual or the Jeep dealer parts lookup for the exact Group Size and CCA for your trim and engine.
- Use a reputable parts retailer’s VIN-based lookup to confirm compatibility before purchase.
Double-checking helps avoid buying the wrong size or wrong terminal orientation.
