is the alternator charging properly? if so i've seen it many times where the battery checks good but the battery tester will not detect a dead cell. being that the vehicle is 4 years old now, the battery is probably original and bad. i would go ahead and replace the battery. make sure your charging system is good too. it should charge around 14 to 14.5 volts while the vehicle is running. hope this helps

Suggested Repair
Verify the charging system produces about 14 to 14.5 volts with the engine running. If charging is normal, replace the battery, since a tester can miss a dead cell and the original battery is likely worn out.
