"just tried the battery" what does this mean?

- did you pop the caps to see if there is sufficient solution?
- did you perform specific gravity reading of the electrolyte?
- did you trickle charge?
- 'click' doesn't necessarily mean dead battery. it can also indicate that the
connection to the battery post is less than optimum. disconnect, wire brush,
clean and reattach
- reason why accessories may work, but starter not spin, is because it only
takes a scootch of power/amps to run the lights etc....but hundreds of amps
to crank the motor
- how old is the battery? if it's reached 4-5 yrs, generally speaking, it's long
in tooth and is targeted for replacement. for warranty purposes, sometimes
the install date is 'coded' onto the label atop the battery
