Im not understanding your question fully but it sounds like a bad battery or cables. Make sure the cables are clean and tight. If you have a cheap voltmeter you can measure the voltage across the terminals it should be no less than 12.6 volts engine off and 14.6 with engine running and loads off. But check the cables first and post back.

I took the battery to get checked came out it needs to be replaced. Will one from Autozone, Advance, etc. be ok or where should I buy one from? any good suggestions?

any battery brand should be alright. They're all made by the same manufacturers more or less

If you are near Pomona California I can help get you a battery for cheap. It can also be maybe your starter or alternator. If you take them off I can test and rebuild it for you at low cost.
