Got it, OK. The click means the battery is either low or has a poor connection to the starter. Easiest first thing to try is cleaning and tightening up the battery posts and cable clamps. If that doesn't fix it, and you have a voltmeter try to get a reading between the 2 battery posts. If it's lower than 11.5ish, the battery has partially drained (light left on, parasitic current, etc) and will need a recharge.

We took it to recharge at autozone the other night & they said it was a good battery so idk what it could be. Idk if the guy knew what he was talking about. He said the battery was at 60 and then turned around and said the battery was at 50

I just talked to autozone they said it could be my alternator but the best thing for me to do is try and go up there and have them take a look at it bc I have one of the best batteries

You could charge it off another car battery or running vehicle and get it started to charge.

lol yeah man I know autozone didn't help at all, but a real good friend of mine he's a mechanic & I explained the whole thing to him and he said it's definitely a battery problem so I just need to buy a new battery

I'm sure everyone knows it's 1500-2000, but I'm a literal tool.

I hooked my charger/booster to it, wouldn't hold a charge, and couldn't get it started.
I brought it back, still under prorated warranty and Joe Sausagehead behind the counter tested it and tried to tell me it was good.
I told him I knew it was bad and insisted he give me a new battery.
Put it in, did the deflood procedure, and it started right away.
You can't always believe what those guys tell you.

Yeah I understand I realize this time it was my fault bc I guess when I put the battery in I didn't let it idle long enough so that's what happened to me today so now I have to go buy a whole new battery
