Ok thanks, just wanted to make sure since my previous battery lasted over 5

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me, my car was taken to the dealership to get inspected and was surprised to find out I needed a new battery, I didn't remember when the last time I had gotten it changed was but I knew it was under 5 years, the dealership couldn't find it in there system so I agreed to buy a new one and as a curtousy was given a discount since they couldn't find it in there system. I just found the receipt and it shows it was changed Nov 2011, should it of died this quickly? I called the dealership and they said its because it seems that I don't use the car too often, is that true?
