That does sound like a weak battery. I would check a few things before replacing the battery. If you have a battery charger, fully charge it overnight and watch how long it holds a charge. If the problem comes back again, I would check the battery and the charging system. Watch your volt meter.
Some things to check: How old is the battery? If the battery is five years old I would have it load tested. If the sides bulged out from freezing I would replace it.
Is the alternator charging the battery on 30 minute trips?
There could also be a low amperage drain through: a bad diode in the alternator; a light that stays on: doors, glove box, trunk, etc.; dirt build up inside the starter; etc.
Google your SUV model to find common problems and fixes.
