Default Dead Battery!

91 limited, 4.0ho. My battery is a month old, went out to start her and she's dead. And I just drove her yesterday/ last night. I'm thinking my alternator may be bad? And she's my dd.

Get a meter, see how many volts are on the battery, jump start the XJ & there should be 12.5-14.5 volt while running. If not could be a bad alternator or faulty battery. The cold kills a battery.
