I'm not sure the problem is the battery. The last time i got the oil changed they tested the battery and said it was fine but the car is dying for some reason as this is the second time in a month I've had to boost it. The battery is also only a couple of years old. As for the cables, I have boosted a number of cars over a number of years with them and never had any issue.
Average lifetime of a car battery is 2 years
Also a battery can be fine the first day and broken the next so you never really know...

But of course like you said, it can also be a problem with your car (bad ground or short circuit somewhere in the cables)
