It's a fairly new battery, yet either there is something wrong with it,
or there is something wrong with the car (that is draining it rapidly
while it sits on the driveway).

The other day it was flat, so I charged it for an hour or so, it started
up right away, then later that morning it was flat again.

I would suspect a fault in the car wiring and track this down. More
and more things are being connected directly to the battery,
sometimes without even a fuse, so are able to gently drain the
battery. If one of these has gone wrong then it will be able to
drain the battery more rapidly than designed to do. It may take a
while to track down what it is, but things which are available even
when the ignition is not turned on are where I would start looking.
