CA S14 won’t crank / loses all power

My manual s14 won’t start or crank. After it sits and power comes back on to the accessories, I try starting it and after no cranks it just completely dies. I haven’t replaced the battery in about 3 years and the car sits for months at a time without being started. I have replaced the starter a few months ago. Any idea in which direction I should go? Should I start by replacing the battery? Then narrowing it down from there. I repeatedly charge the battery but haven’t gotten it tested yet.

I will just buy a battery so I can eliminate it as possible cause. I will keep the thread updated.
