looks like the battery. Try poking it with a multi meter if you have one. Set it on volts with the straight line, dc current. It should read somewhere in the region of 12.6v, anything like 10v you've probably got a dead cell. If you do get it going should be over 14v from the voltage being supplied from the alternator.
