Might seem like a no brainer to you, but I'm inexperienced with Jeeps and cars in general, so it took me a few hours of hopelessness and desperately ridiculous diagnostics, but it turned out that some of my fuses in the cabin under the drivers side were totally corroded and had completely fallen apart from long exposure to a small leak in the windshield. One of these failures prevented the alternator from charging the battery....I have the Renix system, and am not familiar with the newer models and their fuse setup, so I apologize if this post makes no sense... But its an honest suggestion anyways.
