Drove it to work where the battery decided to die and not charge enough to start the trick yet still enough to test good
Sounds more like a weak starter or bad cables to me.

got it traded out and it started right up. this is the same thing that happened when i got the last one in july of 2009
Two years of battery life is not normal. I'd be taking a really careful look at the entire system, checking for good cables, good ends, good grounds, proper voltage regulation, alternator output, etc. Just my 2 cents.
