Dead battery- what could it be?

Got to my '99 base Boxster on Monday morning to get to the airport and got nuthin' when I turned the key. Not a click and zero dashboard lights

The battery got replaced 4 years ago along with the alternator. I generally drive this every 3 or 4 days, though the two times I was away for two weeks this winter, it started up right away with no complaints. I had driven the car 4 days prior to Monday with no issues. I park in a garage 2 blocks away, and there's no known history of rodents. I didn't leave the lights on, no dome light, trunk wasn't left unlatched with the bulb burning- I couldn't find anything that I had done wrong.

When I get back Saturday I can pull the battery and have it tested and charged I suppose, but I've never had a battery do this without warning.

Any ideas what would make this happen?

Just realized it's my Boxster birthday, bought 7 years ago today!
