What is the actual voltage across the battery?

Do you get any sign of life when you switch the key to the run position?

you need to check cranking amp to determine if battery fubar. Volts not on load is meaningless.

Check starter as well after battery.

As above, how many volts have you actually got? Also, try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery making sure the terminals are tight.
