Default Do I need a new battery?

I was cleaning my car and had my stereo bumping like I always do when I clean my car (woofer pumping)... I must of had it on for about 1 hour with the car turned off, sudenly it the stereo started to come on and off then it just turned off. I could not start my car but there was power to the gauge cluster..... so I knew it was my battery.....

So I jumped started it and took it to Kragen to get checked out and they said that everything is fine....

It turns on and off alright... but I'm just concerned that it will leave me hanging somewhere.....

I have used that battery w/the stereo bumping so many times more than 2-3 hours and nothing ever happened....

So basically is my battery dying on me?

My car has about 50k on it and I believe its the original battery....

Do I need to replace it? Or did it get charged up again while running the car?

Thanx

Omar
