What car do you have, how many miles your car done. Might be something else instead of the Battery

When you turn the key to ACC does the radio come on an when you turn it to ON do the lights come on the dials???

Nothing at all. Just 5 or six quite bleaps from the front of the car!!

Poss failed cell in Battery. Use a multimeter to check the Battery voltage before going anymore indepth.

This means the Battery is completely and irreversibly dead and can't hold charge anymore. Get a new one.

And yet it can be dead. It will discharge very quickly once you try to use it (its capacity (not capacitance) has gone to zero.

After you have tried to start the car, disconnect the leads from the Battery and with multimeter check the potential between the negative and positive electrodes.

If the battery still holds its 12V (or near it) there might be some hope, but otherwise just shop around and change it. Even though it might be OK for a while next time when the temps drops at zero and below you would face the same problem.
