get the battery a proper overnight charge and take it to your local motor accessory place (most offer free battery testing) but it sounds like it's days are numbered to me!

sorry ment to add it is a new batt and it is ok.cheers

sounds like some things draining it....check the door switches aren't pulling power (that work the light)

get a multimeter and set it to amps scale of 20 at the most, disconnect the batt negative lead a nd connet the meter btween the batt lead and battery terminal, if there is a drain you will see a reading usually above 2 amps [i think], then what you do is pull each fuse in turn and see if the amps drop, that is the faulty circuit when you see the drop
this will isolate the fault to a certain circuit you then need to find the faulty component.
this is done with ignition off
i would start with the stereo fuse first as usually they are wired incorrectly by previous owner
iirc 0.5 amps is about the correct voltage drop on a good car with no electrical issues

also check alternator is charging at around 14.5v across battery when engine idling
