Have you replaced your battery? Because letting your battery drain fully even once can damage it. And if you’ve needed to boost it more than a dozen times, then it almost certainly sounds like it is time to replace.

Definitely, I’m on my 3rd battery now. My family doesn’t realize/understand that draining causes damage so they aren’t as careful as they could be, otherwise we’d likely still be on the 2nd.
God damn it I left my lights on the other night, and I just got a new battery recently too. Oh well.
