may just need a new battery.

you can charge your current battery and see if it holds a charge.
check your alternator to make sure it is putting power back to the battery. should be 13.8 to 14.6 volts dc(something like that range).

either you have something open in the charging circuit (just had that problem yesterady myself) or your alternator is shot. do you have a volt gauge or alt dummy light? any indications?
