not 100% by all means, but it could have a cell going out on it (i know at my job some batteries we get show good when on a load tester, but will die soon after due to a cell being bad)... try getting the cells tested or borrow a friends battery to see if that one would hold a charge, that way you could def be able to tell if its battery or car related

How old is the battery? If you have door seat belts, they can drain the battery when the door is not shut all the way. Cold weather is usually the last straw for a tired battery.

It's simply a bad battery, or you have a drain. Disconnect the battery cable one night, hook it back up the next morning, and see if the car starts. If it starts, you have a drain (PITA). If it doesn't start, you need a new battery (EASY).
