Would remove battery, add water if needed, charge overnight (1~2 amps), and get the battery load-tested.
Usually for free at AutoZone, Walmart, etc., and generally anywhere batteries are sold.

When re-installing the battery, assure the wire lug terminals and posts are clean, and securely fastened.

Also, inspect the ground connection where the negative battery cable attaches to rear of engine.
This is a critical ground for the entire electrical system.

Good Fortune!

sounds like classic loose / corroded battery contact terminals or ground connection
