Dead battery in the wife's rig

Got up this morning, wife leaves, comes back into the house.

Dead battery

Jump start it, tell her to drive in 2nd(slushbox) to charge it back up. She stops for coffee on the way to the office

Dead battery

At lunch, go jump it again, she drives around in 2nd for about 30 minutes, and it just will not hold a charge. Runs fine, so the alternator is good, right? 5 years on a 7 year battery, which is not bad I guess. If'n this happened last week, would have the benefit of Mr Sun shining down on my red neck as I am changing it out. Freakin' Mondays piss me off.

At least it is not raining.
