Hold off on the battery replacement till you check the free stuff 1st.
Definately clean and remount the terminals. Also check the one down below at the starter too. Then have the battery TESTED. Most auto parts stores do this free.
Unless of course you already know the battery to be doomed; then disregard the above.
