Which one?
I've had my 925T installed in my C4S and GT3 for just at a year with weekend driving and track duty; I keep it on a trickle charger during the week; I've had it at the track with ambient temps ~30*F; no problems.

if alternator is working ok and positive and ground cables all secured and in good condition then the battery is dead or about to die. Change it.
I don't know the model but if it's small the cold cranking amps should be low even when new.
I went throught a disaster with a Braille lightweight one, could barely crank the car and being so weak it finally burned my alternator and I remind everyone here not to ever buy one.
Not only it was a POS but they didn't even bother to replace it under warranty.

I had a similar situation. Odyssey 925 went dead after about 14 months. I didn't drive the car much but I did keep it on a trickle charger. I had a similar issue with the stock battery with no luck from the dealer in helping me replace it. Long story short I installed an Interstate Battery in it about 2 years ago now. So far it starts right up with no issues. As with the other batteries I keep it on a Battery Tender trickle charger.

FWIW, I had another event this past weekend with the GT3 and the Odyssey 925. Ambient temps were ~30*F overnight and the car fired right up each morning with no drama.
Curious what your resolution was....
