Default help! car does not start often. whats wrong?

ok. my car is often having trouble starting these days. it whines a lot and some times when i start the ignition it just "clicks" and doesn't start. need to be jump start it. I'm guessing its the battery. but my car only has 30K on it. whats going on?? im not sure if its my starter, alternator, or battery. can anyone tell me how to tell?

Battery doesn't have enough reserve CCAs. Replace it.

Spend the 20 bucks to have an electrical diagnosis at Pep Boys that way it isn't just one part!!! I had that problem....battery, alternator and (damn forgot what it was called.....oh yeah) Voltage regulator. I replaced each seperatly and had problems for months!
