In the past couple days I've turned my headlights on with the jeep off. It seems after about five minutes of running low beams my battery can't turn over the engine anymore. Twice I've had to jump start it.
I've got a cheap walmart battery so I'm planning on replacing it with an Optima Red Top.
Is there anything else I should look at or change with the stock power/charging system while I'm at it (1996 w/ towing package.)
The original alternator still seems fine, the dashboard volt meter always reads just under 14Volts and after jumping it I can run the vehicle less the 10 minutes and then be able to turn it off and back on again.
Thanks,
Matt
