Yep, modern batteries often go from seeming to work perfectly to being dead as a door nail instantly. The battery had likely been on a slow decline for a bit and then just died. That, in my experience, is the most common failure method these days. Or you may get 1 slow start that doesn't register because it's the only one, and then the next time, nothing.

Sometimes they are so dead that a jump start won't even get the thing going.
