Sounds like you need a new battery and then check the alternator is charging properly.

As above. This happened to mine just a couple of weeks ago. Most likely to be the alternator based on what you've described. Take your battery off, give it a full charge and re fit it. Once it's back in, use a multimeter to test if the voltage of the battery increases when the cars running. It's easy to do. If the voltage drops instead of going up when the car is running, your alternator is gone more than likely.
