Usuaully batteries last for a fairly long time I think. There are ltos of different grades of batteries too, some better then others. You can pick up an ordinary one like most people use for fairly cheap at most autopart stores I'm sure, or even at Wal-Mart

is it cheaper if i get it RE-CHARGED at a store or something? is that possible? is it cheaper than buying a whole new battery?

You could see if they can re-charge your old one? If not you may as wlel get a cheap new one for like 30-40 bucks so that you know your car wills tart the next morning.

Canadian Tire has every battery under the sun. I got mine with a 3-year warranty

some times that battery cannot be recharged, because the chemicals in the battery are too weak to continue the chemical reaction that gives out electricity. in your case go to walmart give them your old battery and get one of the ever start max batteries they have. what ever you do dont buy a battery from autozone the batteries there suck unless you get an optima battery form them because they are fairly cheap for the quality and a very good battery

The everstart battery from wal-mart gives free replacement for three years and is pro-rated for another six years after that.

First of all how do you know its the battery you didn't say if you had it checked ...Lots of people get stuck buying things they don't need and doesn't fix the problem like replacing a radiator ($150) and all they needed was a $7 thermostat or a sender unit.....Your belt might be loose or your alternator is shot and not giving out enough juice to keep your battery fully charges also you might have an open circuit...lots of different things If it is the battery then the Walmart idea is good ....Radd Guy
