Check the battery voltage - should be somewhere close to twelve and a half volts when fully charged (12.6V = 100%, 12.35=75, 12.1=50,... with no load on the battery). If its below 12.4V or so, you may need a jump or charge.
Edit: If you have the original battery (or any unsealed one), check the fluid levels in the cells.
Edit #2: Many auto parts stores will test your battery if you can put it on their counter.
