I am experiencing the same thing just now, the battery drains overnight from 12v to 6v. I had the exact same problem with my previous GC the version before this one ZJ?.
Three mechanics run all kinds of tests on that Jeep but failed to find the cause
The battery was replaced with a Bosch unit in December, the alternator is charging okay - but still the power drains - Help

Oh another thing when I charge the battery and start it I have to keep it revving until it heats up or the engine will cut out
