First I’d try to figure out if it’s the battery. Does the car turn over on the key?

Might have damaged the battery but could just need a charge. Can you get hold of a charger?

Might be the alternator... :s

Look at the existing battery to determine it's AH rating. and do some quick measurements H x L x W then look for batteries.
If you want it cheaper and don't mind waiting for it to be posted look at www.tayna.co.uk or the on line part of ECP, car parts for less. CP4L is pretty much always cheaper than ECP.
At 5 years old the battery won't be at it's best but you might get away with just leaving it on charge for a few hours to boost it.
