Hi Rose,
Yes, batteries can die. But other things can happen too.
If you are comfortable using a voltmeter and the battery is accessible, here are a few things to check. Set it to check DC voltage and:
- Test the voltage on the battery, is it Low, does it read zero, does it read near 12v?
- See if it's charging. Do the same test with the charger engaged. It should read 12V. Does it?
- Does the battery show any signs of leakage?
- Are the terminals clean?
Get back to me with the results and we can take it from there.
