So how long have you owned the car - could well be the original battery?
If it is known to be more than 6 years old replace it (ideally with a Bosch Silver S5 which has five year guarantee). If as I say it is older than 6 years old just replace it as you're storing up problems if you don't
If it is newer than 6 years but it is the battery above then get it 'drop' tested, and if it proves to be faulty, claim a new one under guarantee. if it isn't under guaranteed but is found to be faulty then get anew one - circa £100ish quids. Worth every penny if you get the S5. i got one and it failed after 3 years and I got a replacement under the guarantee.
