02 Mist Eclipse, Battery struggling to hold a charge

Hello, I own a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse, Automatic, 160k miles, it runs good with no dashboard lights, when it does start up, it starts fine but sometimes (esp as of late)It won't even turn over. I thought this was due to the short trips I take and lack of driving the car frequently enough, however I'm asking for help due to last night. I had just driven a good distance so the battery should be good and charged, yet again, dead when I try to start it. Got a jump, drove 5 minutes back home, turned it off, but 2 minutes later, when I tried it again, (re-parking) it started with no issue?!?! 5 minutes and half a mile earlier it wouldn't attempt to turn over, I am very confused.

Get your battery and alternator load tested at any major auto parts store.
