Sounds too me like your battery is going dead. So either give it a nice charge or go out and get a replacement. I'll take it your car wasn't running which means that your alternator is taken out of the question. So doesn't seem to be anything major. But if the problem is there when your car is running and you have replaced the battery you might be in for a new alt.

nah nothing too crazy. Just take not of what you've got in there and the amount of space you have. You'll be fine going to the same size battery but you can always got to a little bigger if you like. Pretty much depends on budget.
