My Buick was dead last winter because the battery needed be changed. But the new battery only lasted for 6 month, it was dead again. We changed the battery in last summer. Unfortunately, this battery was dead again today. Before this happened, sometimes we needed to start the car 3-4 times. After it was started, it run great. Could you help me to figure out what parts we need to check or replace?

Thank you very much

Get the alternator load tested if okay, check for a short circuit or something left on that could be draining the battery overnite
