The battery COULD very easily by shot. The OEM batteries from Porsche are JUNK and the Boxster draws quite a bit when just sitting. These batteries do not do well without a lot of driving.

You can buy a fine battery at Coscto for $52. plus tax and install yourself, it is easy.

Since a charge is likely free (if you have a charger, highly recommended) give it 24 hour charge and see what happends.

Odds are it is a goner.

Bosch batteries are the pits.
