1984 Mercedes Benz 300sd Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I've been trying to start a 300sd but to no avail. When I turn the key after the glow plugs heat up the car clicks but does not start. I'm wondering if the battery is to blame, since I'm using an old battery that has a hard time keeping a charge. Am I correct in replacing the battery or should I be checking something else?

the first thing I would do is take the battery down to my local parts store, have them charge it and test it to make sure it is good.
