Default car problem

i went to go start my car and it wouldnt, im thinking it is the battery but we tried jumping it but nothing happened. it would just make a clicking noise.
but i think it might be the battery because we hooked it up to a charger and said it was low, idk. and when the car was off it was making a small clicking noise in the front right but the fuse box. i have no clue . anyone have any suggestions?

Default battery

(im no mechanic), but i think the clicking noise is good. that means the relay is working. i think your battery is just too dead to turn over even with being jumped. take the battery to advanced auto or similar and they'll test it for you.

well it might be if you battery is being drained. causes are a bad cell, bad alt, or bad wires. do you have a amp wired to your batt.?
