Yup, that's what happened to my stock battery. No warning at all,
really, and once it went, no amount of charging would bring it back to life.

I'm dreading the day that my Optima Red Top decides to quit on me, since
it will probably go the same way -- without warning. It's only been
completely drained once, after which I fully recharged it and left it on
the trickle charger overnight. But, who knows how long it will really
last? The truck sits in my garage 5 or 6 days a week now, which
probably isn't helping the battery either.
