Most auto parts stores test them at no charge.

If you have AAA, they can send their battery guy out and he can test it

Buy or borrow a multimeter. Volts at battery when vehicle is running should be 14-15 volts if the charging system is working. Above 12 volts when engine is off (close to 13 with a new battery).

Edit: The battery can still be bad if it passes test above but the test will usually give you a good indication of condition.
