FYI, a battery can still have plenty of power for lights etc, but not enough to crank the engine enough to start the car. A weak battery usually becomes evident when it is cold because the cold reduces the batteries performance and a cold engine is harder to turn over.
But it's still suspicious to have a stranger come to your door that late for a jump. A weak battery isn't going to cause a running car to break down on the side of the road.

Exactly this. That was my thinking. There's no proper/legal place to park on either side of the road where I live, so I knew that he hadn't parked the car, visited a neighbor for a few hours, and came back to a dead battery.
