bad battery will cause many issues. Question is, why is your battery not charging, what do you mean it was low? alternator should be charging the battery when the car is running. If you dont drive it much I suggest getting a battery maintainer and having it hooked up when the car is sitting. 3 years is about all batteries are good for anymore, they just dont make them that good anymore and the brand doesn't matter, they all go bad. 5 years seems to be the max on any these days.
