Default Re: Thoughts? - battery. alternator or other problem? - solved

Just FYI to close the loop on this problem (hopefully). I did the ingition off draw test and my car was hardly drawing anything from the battery - hence eliminating a draw on the battery. I did a spefic gravity test on electrolyte and even after a 10 hour trickle battery charge it was showing poor-fair charge - so I am guessing a bad battery (it was almost 4 years old). Bought a new battery at Autozone (84 mos - $109.99 - Chrysler wanted $147.99 for an OEM 72 month battery) and all appears well...of course won't know for sure for a few days/weeks. Thanks for all the input (Maxwell, Jeep2Xfire, msheredy &dyezak - I'd buy you all a beer if I could).
