83 SC --- No start; battery?

This morning, the Silver Arrwow did not start. No headlights, no door/dome lights, no clicks, dashboard lights --- nothing.

First start attempt in about 3-4 wks. Everything was normal/perfect in the last start/drive.

Had to leave for work so, took the DD (E91 Wagon).

I'm thinking it's probably just a drained battery (X my fingers). Or, maybe the terminal at the battery got loose --- I had to disconn then reconn when installing a new head unit about 6 months back.

Anyway --- if it's just a drained battery, I'll just jump start it. QUESTION: anything to lookout for or any special precautions on jump starting the SC?

Then --- if it comes down to replacing the battery, what's a good suggestion? I'm usually practical and just go with something that works ---- nothing fancy like OPTIMA.

Thanks --- look forward to replies/suggestions.
