Hear cranking ticking noise but car doesn't turn over

Tip for all (If you didn't already know) the best way to get the most life out of your battery is to keep it topped up... do yourself a favor & pick up a trickle charger.

+1. My original battery is still going strong..

Just throwing it out there if anyone hasn't mentioned it (I didn't read it all) the ticking noise you can hear is the propellor in the starter motor being thrown into position to spin the flywheel/ ring gear and retracting back into the starter motor. This is because it needs alot of charge to hold that position and still spin so that's why it continuously throws into place and retracts immediately, there simply isn't enough power to start the car.

I chucked in a new Supercharge Gold battery and now she runs great and starts everytime~!

Thank you all for your help!
