Grounds should be good now. Ok, no or little charging. Connection to the alternator, bad job on the brushes, bad alternator, battery clamp corrosion, invisible corrosion at wires to the clamp, and yes, a bad battery.

Any Sears, Auto Zone, Advanced Auto, and a half dozen other places would check the charging system for free for the hopes of selling you a new battery. Forget Sears, can't trust them. Walmart should be OK too. They had to hook my car up to a charger load tester for 45 min to verify their battery went south before the 2 year warrantee was up.
