if the engine starts, check battery again, get 14v to 15vdc?, if not that, and see 12v the alternator is dead.
if the battery charges and works ok, and can start and drive. and then goes dead parked. for say 8 hours. (drain)
do not drive if it starts , and not check charging voltage or you will get stranded. on the way to work or coming back home.
this parked and dead, is sign of phantom drain. if battery ok , going to sleep at night and then dead in the morning.
(sometimes (most) it's bad battery, but we can check for drain 2 ways, one with a simple test light or a dmm using amps mode (tricky the last, ask)
good luck on your car, hope its just simple issue.
