The simple fix is a battery disconnect switch. Available for about $10 at you local parts store. It isolates the battery from the rest of the electrical system until you need to drive the car. Before I spent this I would have the battery load tested. It could be the battery itself that is going bad and not the electrical system.

Before you go spending all kinds of money on a new battery have it checked , most auto parts stores will check it for load and deep cylcle for free. You may have a drain on the system. Cruise control servo or some other acessory may be drawing a current while the jeep is at rest . Have the charging system tested for a draw. continueally dicharging the battary then boosting it will shorten its life span. You may need a battery? or you may have an alternator that is weak and not fully charging . Is the battery older than 3 years? If so test it and if it tests weak replace it.

definitely sounds like the battery, it also sounds like the charging system on the jeep works because its charging the battery enough to restart. bottom line get a new battery, also they may be able to test the old battery so you know that's the problem good luck

if its an open battery check the 6 little holes on the top. wear gloves, take the caps off, fill 3/4 up with water. if there is already water your battery might just be dead. batteries need plants just like water.

you dont need a new battery if it holds its charge start your car and then disconnect the negative wire on your battery,if it still remains running your battery and alternater are fine if it dies you need to replace your alternater. If thats not the problem one of your electrical wires is still staying on when the cars turned off more than likely its your window sileonoid and you need to take it by an autozone and they will check it for you.

Have you tried getting a new battery? Sounds obvious but it might help. It sounds like it isn't holding a charge.

i understand you reported you've positioned new tie-rod ends on it yet have you ever taken a glance on the loafer arm and something else of the steerage aspects? Did you inspect the traditional joints?
