Escape kept needing a jump... got a new battery. Escape started okay for about a week or two but then died again. Weather is REALLY cold. A couple of suggestions from garages were starter or alternator. Still not sure. Any other suggestions?

You have the battery and the alternator and the alternator belt and if they are working fine there must be something that is draining the battery. You need an auto electrician to check what the drain is. In such cases,on various vehicles, the BCM, body control module, proves to have something to do with it. Get A GOOD AUTO ELECTRICIAN to check if there is a particular component
draining the battery

Sounds like nonsense to me

Everyone drives a vehicle a couple days a week

If the battery is over 5 years old it may be bad

When you say you had it checked- we need technical
details of how it was tested & it's age

Was the alternator tested & again how?

If you haven't had anything tested in over a year,
you can expect things to not work as they should

Obviously your issues are somewhat weather or temp
related,so a fresh start & a different shop that knows why
your there & what you expect resolved is what is needed

your throutel is sticking clean it with throutel cleaner also your fuel injectors are shooting to much gas have them checked

Battery is dead ... dropped a cell ... get a new one ... the cold weather is hard on poor old batteries

New battery needed or a trickle charger when vehicle not being used

Sounds like a battery to me. The cold doesnt drain the battery it just makes it more difficult to produce enough energy to crank the car. If the battery is weak already, the cold just makes it worse. Replace it and move on!

you must have crossed the battery cables. check all fuses under hood

okay try this....talk to your parts store and get a battery load tester, and find out if the battery is indeed dead. My guess is it sounds like the Altenator is dying. they are around 50-100 and can be install by a pro in minutes.

WELL UR BATTERY HAS DEAD CELLS Y ITS DYING AND WHEN UR BELOW 0 A BLOCK OR OIL HEATER I A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE.A DIPSTICK OIL HEATER CAN BE BOUGHT AT AUTO STORE .

Sounds to me like you have a weak batt. also if you rear lights are sticking on some times that could drain it
