Default 2011 JKUR Won't start

I'm sure it's an easier fix than I'm thinking, but wanted to get some expert opinion - or opinion better than min, which is any of you:

1. Normal day, No problems prior to this. Put the keys in the ignition, switched to ignition to get power and lowered the windows. Removed keys.

2. Removed freedom panels an doors.

3. Was about to head to met hen she didn't crank completely - again, not the slightest issue prior to this.

4. Now have zero indication of power at all. None of the digits illuminate. As if no battery was installed.

5. Raise the hood, and my J4 relay is going NUTS - like a popcorn machine. Cycling back & forth between whichever functions it controls. I pull and reinstall it, hoping it might reset, but no dice.

6. Original stock battery, 2011 JKUR. No previous electrical issues other than replacing the stock stereo with a replacement stock stereo

Thanks, cidd, 'll give it a shot. Wouldn't hurt to replace the original OEM with something little more robust.

Default **Update**

Replaced the battery, and my problems disappeared like yesterday.

Thanks, Cidd!
