Default Jeep still not starting right up!

I posted the other day how my XJ won't fire right up, I looked in to it and my lo fuse was blown so I replaced both the hi and lo fuse, I then went to auto zone and got some good battery corrosion removal I sprayed everything that need sprayed and put some corrosion stopped on the plugs and terrminals, it didn't start right up till the second time (I'm guessing because of sitting a couple days) it finally started right up so I took it back to auto to pick up steering fluid then it died in the parking lot again, I pressed in the break an it started up quietly but not to strong. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with it but can't, I'm going to try a new battery soon, so if anyone can let me know a good battery that will easily power fog lamps and a winch in the near future let me know! Thanks for looking !

Good luck.

As far as batteries go I got one of these early this past winter. Rated at 610cca and tested at 690+ yesterday. Not cheap but none are.
