You've done the customary simple test to make sure it is the battery

clean and tight? Checked the battery water (if not sealed)?


If it started the car on Saturday, but wouldn't on Tuesday, then I
agree that I would suspect the charging circuit rather than the battery.


It's actually very common for batteries to die suddenly. More common than
charging circuitry to go wrong in my experience.
