Protect your 4xe's battery area when you head off road
Your Wrangler 4xe has more underneath to look after than a conventional petrol Jeep. This Almont 6 mm duralumin guard protects the lithium-battery compartment area on the JL 4xe from 2021, giving you a substantial barrier for rough-ground driving.
SKU: PDJJLED26
A guard for the battery area itself
The SportDuty plate weighs 9.5 kg and uses certified AW5083 H111 duralumin. It protects a different component from the gearbox, transfer case or fuel tank guards, making it a useful addition when you want to look after the specific underbody equipment of your 4xe.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength alloy protection without the material weight of steel of the same size and thickness. The plate will not develop red rust if its surface is scratched, so it is a good choice for a vehicle you intend to keep and use. Wash off mud and road salt to look after the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Matching protection
For the five-door 4xe, the separate fuel tank guard protects the original fuel tank. The 4xe gearbox guard protects the gearbox separately; neither is included with this battery-area plate.
Looking after your protection
Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Does this guard protect the fuel tank too?
No. This plate is for the lithium-battery compartment area; the fuel tank guard is separate.
Do the other 4xe guards come with it?
No. Each linked guard is a separate purchase for its own component.
What is included?
The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
Will the plate rust if I scrape it?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
