dead battery, lots of clicking

[Barrels]

Just wrapped up a project and was about to pull the car off the lift. The battery was dead so I hooked up a charger to do a jump. The dash lit up like normal, ht all I got was a lot of clicking when I hit the start button.

Work in progress. I would appreciate some quick help. Either info on what might be wrong or the best charge settings for our battery.

Oh yeah. 03 w/no mods.

Leave the charger on overnight or boost it with another vehicle, let the boosting vehicle run for a short time to put a charge into your battery before you try it.

Sounds like a dead battery...and I know it takes some time for them to charge back up enough to start if jumping.

Definitely a dead battery but you'll need to get a new one if you still have the Mopar OE battery. Once they go dead, they lose their ability to hold a charge. It will charge up enough to get the car started but will eventually bring you back to square one and may leave you stranded. Do a search for opinions and suggestions on aftermarket batteries.

Thanks for the help last night. It was a very dead battery. Ill pick up an optima this weekend.

A quick search later...maybe ill pass on that optima. Group 34 die-hard platinum I guess.
