Sounds as if the battery is completely Wanked, and is not taking any charge. Get it Running, put a voltmeter across the battery terminals and check the voltage is at 13.5 to 14 volts, if it is the alternator is charging, which is good. So it is possible the battery is Fubared.
Also when trying to start is it turning over very slowly or just clicking?
