Some car batteries only last 3 - 5 years. It might be due for a replacement. They are fairly easy to change yourself too if you want to keep the costs down.

Also depends on the environment. Down here in central Texas you can't expect the el cheapo batteries to last more than 2 or so years because the summer heat is brutal on them.
