So I hadn't had the jeep running for about a month so to sart it i jumped it and everything was AOK while running. Afer letting it run for 15 min. I check it over, everything was fine while running (battery at 14 or so). After shutting it down I try to restart it 5 min. later and the battery is down to 5-6 and dropping quick. So I throw the battery on the charger clean the posts and terminals and when the battery is at 12 it started fine. I let it sit for 5 min. and tried again and it was back down in the 5-6 area. My question is what is causing this?
