Angry Darn battery!

For some reason, our battery is dead! Just like out of nowhere. My dad drives his car everyday, but I dunno, today it was just dead! This happened like last year and the friendly MB people came and installed a new battery for us. I just don't get why it's dead once again. Do these batteries have like a really short life?

My dad thinks something is staying on inside of the car. I checked about everything, nothing is on, no lights, nothing.
Maybe it was the weather change? It's been going back and forth from hot to extremely cold these past few weeks.

This battery problem is just annoying

Any thoughts, suggestions, anything? T.I.A.

MB batteries seem to go fast. I've had mine replaced about every 2-3 years from MB roadside and depending on how long the battery is, usually you pay 50-75% of the cost of them installing a new one (unless your still under warranty), but MB batteries come with a 4 year warranty.

Maybe something is still running, even though you can't see it (like some electrical component?)
