[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 587792, member: 20098"] You need to test the battery output whilst it is under load - this will tell you if it has had it's day or not. Either measure voltage while cranking, or find someone who has a portable battery load tester - these have a dial indication to show whether battery performance is good or not when connected. Do this before buying any new parts! As already mentioned, it's worth checking the connections between starter, battery, alternator and earths are all clean and oxidation / rust free, as again, this is free and rules another thing out.
