Question New Fuel Injectors/Engine shuts off while driving

In my 1995 Jeep Cherokee, I swap the stock fuel injectors with 4.0L Bosch Type III Fuel Injectors Set 6 24LB EV1. The next day, driving for 30 minutes or more, the engine quits as I luckily pulled into a advance auto because i knew i was running a low on oil. The turd working there comes out, checks the jeep and says my battery is low. So i bought a new battery and it hasn't acted on me for the rest of the day. But i really don't think its the battery that shut it off going down the road. It has to be the fuel injectors or crankshaft position sensor. What do yall think?

Why does it have to be the injectors or crank sensor?

If it dies while driving, kinda sounds like a alternator issue. The battery could have been low only because the alternator was recharging it right. The likelihood of more than one brand new fuel injectors gave out enough to kill the engine is slim. I would have your alternator tested, Advance and Autozone do it, but maybe you should go to Auto Zone this time haha
