Sounds like a bad ground. When it wont start run a jumper cable from the negative side of the battery to a good ground on the motor and try the body also. Rule that out first.
try taking off the battery terminals and see if they have dirt and grime behind them thats not letting current flow clean them with wire brush sounds like not getting current
I found out the hard way the best price for a Jeep Grand Cherokee battery. I bought one at a local autoparts place in Ohio because I was out of town when mine went bad. I went to my Local Sam's Club and found the same battery for just over half of the cost at the Autoparts counter.
could be anything from a crank sensor to a ignition module ,please call a local mechanic to have a look because its very difficult to diagnose this sort of fault without having my greasy hands under the bonnet ,
I would start with my terminals first and check your ground straps that go from the motor to the firewal etc. dodges are bad about ground wires messing up and that causes all kinds of wierd things to happen with these rigs. if the battery they put in wasn't charged all the way it will take a while for the gauge to raise to normal.
To begin with, a 45minute charge is insufficient to fully charge a battery. A "quick charge" can damage the battery by overheating the plates, causing them to warp and shed lots of oxide that falls to the bottom and acts as a short. I've found that charging at 10 amps or less for up to six hours works best. After charging fully, the battery must be load tested (generally a 200amp load is applied and the battery voltage should not fall below 9.5 volts...test is under 15 seconds or it can damage a good battery.) Next is the charging system. I use a simple but fairly reliable method for doing this. With the car running, place a volt meter on the battery and read voltage with all accessories off. Volts should be under 14 and above 13...generally about 13.5....Then turn on everything electrical in the car. Volts should not be less than 12.9 but 12.5 is OK as long as it does not drop further. After running for about ten minutes, voltage should not creep downward below the 12.5 mark. It may vary as regulator comes on and off but it should not drop. When some shops check an alternator, they "full field" it...this tells you that the alternator itself is able to charge the battery but does not tell you if the regulator is working correctly. If the voltage is below specifications either the alternator or voltage regulator has or is failing. On some Jeeps, the voltage regulator is in the computer (I know...really bright) and if it is it cannot be replaced separately. If regulator is inside the alternator you can change it or replace the alternator. You can also have something in the system drawing down the battery, but from what you wrote, I don't think you have a problem there.
Have you taken a spark plug out yet? You may have fowled them out. if they are not clean and have a whitish tone to them, then they need to be replaced.
