My slk 230 has been sat for almost 2 months at my parents house, I havent even had a chance to look at it/ go and run it for 5 mins here and there, it literally hasn't been touched (new baby)!

Anyway today i went to start it up, it makes a clicking noise but the engine doesnt actualy start.

I tried jumping it and it will start up when i do this.

Took it for a drive for 30 mins down the motorway and then back through town, got home, turned it off, and it wouldnt start again.

Am I right in thinking I need a new battery? i dont want to go and spend my hard earnt on nothing!
 
Battery!!
