My 93 xj battery dies when i dont drive it for a couple of days and replaced the battery and went to autozone and they told me the alternator its working good. My batery gauce always marks under 14. What can be the problem?????

You have a parasitic draw while the jeep is off. Basically, there is something that is still receiving battery power while the jeep is off. Check to see if any bulbs are on, not sure if yours is equipped with a glove box light but definitely check that if it does. It's easier to check when it's dark because the draw is probably low.

Google search "troubleshooting parasitic battery drain".

Get your meter out and have at it....

Good luck!

If you have an aftermarket radio, ive known them to do this.

Happened in my brother's 92 Yota pickup. the radio would sometimes fail to actually be off, or whatever, and keep drawing power.

Well, a 'bandaid' thing to do is to unplug your battery any time you park you car so as not to let discharge/ leave you stranded.

Then like they all said, find the parasitic draw.

did u have the battery checked to see if its holding a charge.wait till it gets a little dark and take off the pos cable.look for a little spark when u put it back on.will tell u if something is draining it or if battery is not holding a charge.

If you want a quick fix, they make quick disconnect terminals for the battery. Turn the **** and it disconnects power
