You need to get a multimeter to check your charging system and the state of your battery.When you have diagnosed whether the problem is just a sh&gged battery or something wrong with the charging system you will know if buying a new battery will solve the problem or just postpone it till next week or next month.
I would also invest in a trickle charger.You may not be able to plug it in at home,but a few hours on the charger every week or two while parked at work or wherever works wonders for battery life.
