(e.g. Car won't start Monday morning if you haven't used it over the weekend and you have to jump it.). This will happen a few times and give you enough notice to change the battery.

Your alternator could be dead or the connectors between the alternator and the battery could be corroded. Have it checked out by a mechanic. Of course, change the battery first yourself and if that solves the problem, you are good..

Yes batteries absolutely just die. That’s why I get my charge checked once the battery gets closer to its anticipated expiration.

No, batteries don't just die. They give signs, warnings before they die

if a battery is 5 years old or older, the first cold snap will frequently kill the battery with "no warning". yes, there were probably signs like the starter sounding slower over time, but most people just don't pay that much attention to their cars to be able to track these things.
