Battery, Alternator, Fuse? Ideas?

The 81 SD, greasecar has something funky going on.

Sometimes the car won't start because the battery just doesn't have
the balls. Trying a couple times will cause the battery to loose all
charge.

Sometimes the car doesn't start because when the key is turned in the
ignition, nothing happens. No clicks, no lights, no sounds at all.

Tim just drove it to work, against my judgement, on a day he will need
to deliver pizza and of course the car has decided not to start again.
It's the ignition thing this time. But he had to put the battery on charge
today to GET it started. Oh, he KNOWS EVERYTHING about CARS!!!
I am a little mad because if he can't get the car to start I will get to
drive 45 mins one way to pick him up. and 45 mins home. at 9pm.
When I am trying to make sure homework is done, kids are bathed and laundry
is done. Not like I am sitting here doing nothing.

Anyway, if the ignition makes no noise, no starter, no lights, nothing, which fuse would it be to look at? Number and placement.
1981 300SD. The car I wouldn't have purchased. . .

Thanks. . .
