A bad starter. A loose connection @ the terminal ends-the battery cables-the starter solonoid-IF IT has Rubber covers around the battery ends corrosion from battery acid could cause it.EVEN a bad ground on the engine from the battery 2 the frame.(battery cables) The battery cable ends could be corroded and should be cleaned. The next step would be to check the starter selenoid and then the starter.

there are two connections to the positive side of the battery, one to the starter, one to the accessories. some times corrosion get in between these two pieces. To correct this, i actual bought a battery with both positive connectors, (post and screw in) i hooked the starter up to one + part and the accessories to the other +. haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps

Why does your car battery click but not start?
Batteries don't "click," but other parts do. If you're hearing that "click," it's probably the starter solenoid trying to engage. Either the battery's charge is low, the starter solenoid has failed, or the starter motor itself has failed. On some older cars, especially Fords, the "click" could also be a remote starter relay.
Using a AAA Battery Charger?
Have you ever wondered how you can benefit from a AAA battery charger? Make sure that the batteries you are trying to charge in it are actually rechargeable. Other batteries can cause a fire risk because they are not designed to be placed into a battery charger. Look at the side of the battery to find out if it can be recharged.

Does it damage a car battery to keep jumping other people's cars?
Not really. If it is done correctly and you have your engine running at the time it probably won't hurt your battery. Do be careful though not to try to jump something that requires more than your battery can put out. For instance a battery for a 4 cylinder trying to jump a large V-8 may cause the smaller battery to overheat. Check the top of the battery for the cold cranking amp rating (CCA) and if you are within 50 cca you should be OKAY.
Where is the other battery in the crimson room?

Can a battery be jumped from a truck or does it have to many amps?
better to jump a small battery with a big one. The other way (trying to jump BIG battery with a small one) may result in smaller battery being too weak to do the job or damage to the small battery. The scenario as you have described it is OK.
