I'm sure the unusually hot summer here in S. Florida didn't help.
Fellow FL owner here. 95% chance it's fine and just needs a charge. Just put a charger or tender on it. You might be pleasantly surprised, and it's cheaper to buy a tender for $100 than a battery for $150, and you get a new tool out of the deal

The on-again-off-again charging logic in our cars is way too overprotective (AGM thermals, etc.) and will not charge the battery to full under normal driving conditions in my experience. Some folks have reported that driving with the headlights on will keep the charging circuit switched on more of the time (all of the time?) and do a better job of keeping the battery charged.
