I have experimented, and I've searched, to no avail yet. So my hope lies in you.
Basically my jeep's battery (optima red top) is dead some mornings. Not fully dead, but not enough to start my xj. Step 1: was to disconnect all ad-ons, so my additional lights, cb, etc. all off. And then it worked like a champ, for about a month. Recently I left my lights on all day, jumped it, and it hasn't been the same since. The XJ is back to it's old tricks. Not having enough juice to start. So one would think that the batter is faulty, but a trip to the local AutoZone says it's just great. Which means that something is draining right?
The only thing that is left connected to the battery is my stereo, and alarm. I'm going to disconnect the stereo next.
So I'm wondering if there are any known quirks that could be causing this massive power drain in such a short period of time. (less then 12 hours)
Thanks
