When do you know you need to change your battery? Is there a way to check the battery and how?

Well just happened this morning it didn't want to start at the carwash to get off the rollers...they had to push it. I have never had the issue before...they jumped it and it started and worked normally. What would cause it to not start? Then I went to work later and sat it there 8 hours and it started both times. When do you know you need to change your battery? Is there a way to check the battery and how?

Take the car to a auto parts store like auto zone and have them test your alternator and battery.Also make sure your battery cables are clean and tight.
