I've had blurry issues with my DSLR before and it turned out to be the autofocus messing up. First thing and switch it to manual focus and see if you can get a sharp image that way, might point to an AF problem. If that's not it, check the diopter adjustment near the viewfinder, sometimes it gets bumped and everything looks fuzzy through there. Cleaning helped me once too. Use a soft cloth with a bit of lens cleaner, but be gentle to avoid scratches. And yeah. If it's still blurry, could be condensation inside if you've been in humid spots, let it acclimate slowly. Test with a different lens if you have one, isolates if it's the lens or the that model body. Works great for troubleshooting.

Before buying anything check the age of the battery. Many brands warranty batteries for two or three years and will replace ones that refuse to take a charge, especially if the charger shows a fault blink. Support will usually ask for the blink pattern so read the chart printed on the charger and take a photo which, yeah they may also have you try a charger reset and a different pack if you have access to one. If you are out of warranty, a shop that sells that brand will often let you drop your pack on a display charger for a minute to confirm whether the pack wakes or the charger is the problem so yeah free diagnosis beats guessing. Worth a call.
