I have a Toyota 4Runner as my work car, so I only use the X5 on weekends. This past winter, I never took it out of the garage for 3 months and the longest I havent started the car was like 8 weeks during that time. so far - No battery drain, no start up problem, and I never lock my car in my garage. Should I get new battery then? Thanks!

Since you're in Illinois, I'd suggest getting the battery checked or just replacing it altogether.
Batteries get weak during cold weather. Granted it's springtime now, you don't know how much it was used/unused during the winter months.
