not for mine, but for a friend of mine... haha, but seriously, some chick with a broke down jeep
but anyway, pretty much the problem. battery gets a bunch of crrosion on it and is draining the power. they already replaced the alternator and starter. and its a 95 Yj 4banger, sooo any ideas???

So cleaning the terminals and spraying them with a battery terminal protectant spray didn't make as much sense as replacing the parts you mentioned?

Corrosion on the terminals will contribute towards the lack of alternator energy charging the battery, and also reduce the amount of energy the battery will provide.
If the battery has a dry cell(s), this could contribute to the problem, or if the battery is "shorted" internally. There are a host of other issues that could also be happening, but with limited initial thread post data, it's difficult to provide better feedback till more information is provided.

yeah, sorry bout the lack of info. i just got a call today about it, they already did the starter and alt before they called me. All i really knowis that it just that the battery drains pretty quickly and corrodes the terminals quickly too

did they even have the battery or alternator checked at an autozone or anything before they started replacing things???
Tell them if they want to throw money at it, toss some my way.
