Could be your battery as posted. Check your fuse box under the hood for a blown fuse.

Your battery committed suicide, and your alternator most likely gave it the gun. Get an AVR ( Amperage Voltage Resistance) done once your battery is replaced to make sure it’s charging properly. Or, you could do it the shade tree way. Get the new battery in there, start the car. Once running, disconnect the battery. If it stays running, the alternator is good. If it dies, alternator is toast. Good luck.
