While you're replacing the battery, take a moment to clean up the connectors on the battery cables and the ground connection. If the battery is relatively new, you'll have the additional problem of troubleshooting the reason for it being drained. But if it's at least 5 years old, it's run out of life. Welcome to the forum.

To add to that, check out the alternator too. You will be glad you did.
