C43 wont kick over?

ive never had a single issue with my C43 till today and ive had it for one year. i drove it earlier everything was fine. came back out hours later to take off and when i go to turn the key over nothing happens. no fire no sound, just almost a strange faint pop and nothing. every single light on my dash is on when the key is in ignition. once i turn it to the off position after trying to start it, i wont let me start again, i have to take the key back out and re-try again. I also tried my spare key and the same thing, although the spare wont unlock my doors. Another weird thing it was doing just now was when i roll the window up on auto it goes up stops, comes back down, goes up stops halfway, then comes back down. Its never done anything like this before. Any Ideas?

Sounds to me like the battery is very low.
