Sure sounds like a battery, how old is it?

If the battery has caps, pry them off and chek for enough water in them, if low can try bringing the water to the proper level and charging it. May br frozen there by now though?

May also be a bad or dirty connection. Check all battery cable connection and cables for anything loose, corroded or dirty.

May also be a bad battery and.....?
