Did you check the cables and fuses?

If it is the battery, it died, thats all. Sometimes they short out and thats it. 4 years isn't bad.
But have it checked to make sure, it could be a dozen different things.

Had the battery completely die on me once with no warning, sears diehard gold, only a couple years old. Went out to the car used the remote and couldn't even unlock the doors - had it load tested and it was toast.
