If this is the original battery, in your car which is about 4.5 years old, it's not surprising that it needs replacing. Car batteries should last at least 3-4 years, but anything beyond that should be considered a "gift." Colder climates can reduce the lifespan of car batteries.
If the car is not stored connected to a battery tender, then over a few weeks time the battery will be drained by the car's electronics, which are on even when the car is turned off. When a car battery is drawn down close to zero, it frequently cannot be revived. If you have not been in the habit of connecting your car up to a battery tender when it is not being actively used, once you get your current battery replaced would be a good time to start doing so.
