Hello, you need to go to a shop and have a mechanic test your battery and the alternator, something isn't working right or you wouldn't have to give it a boost in order to start the car.
the car as a wire connected to the chassis and he is descharging the battery. you have to go to a car electrician and look wall the cables to see where he is not isolated.
Probably an intermittent ignition switch. Try start it by connecting a wire directly to the starter solenoid and touching it on the + of the battery. Ignition switch must be ON and be sure the car is NOT in gear. LPG
Batteries sometimes die completely for no apparent reason even though they were working fine only hours beforehand. Try another / new battery and get the alternator fuse checked, because it should not be obviously split, and replaced if necessary because with the fuse out, the battery will not be recharged. The alternator charging rate appears to be OK but have it checked anyway.
Your radio and most of your accessories will still work with a low charged battery. The clicking sound you are experiencing is most likely from a low charged battery not giving enough amperage to the starter. Were you able to start the car after getting a boost? If so, then it is your battery. Does your car cut out while driving? If so, then it is your alternator (device that charges your battery while the car is running). It is either the battery or alternator.
try getting a boost for your car.... the battery may be failing. it doesn't take alot of power to turn on the lights... but a huge drain on the battery to start it. if it will not start with a boost i could very well be that the starter has failed. as you attempt to start it... have someone tap the starter with a hammer. if it starts... replace the starter.... if it starts normally with a boost you likely need a new battery
