Batteries in what a car? If so there's a problem with charging system first I would look at is alternator. If motorbike it probably regulator/rectifier
If the alternator is good and the battery is new, then something is draining the battery while it's parked. In the old days people left their headlights, radio or something on and this drained the battery. Now a days this is not as big a problem with 5 minute timers that turn off lights if you forget. I would take it back to whomever did the alternator work for an answer. How old is the battery? You can take it to see if it can't hold a charge any longer. In my experience, most batteries don't seem to hold a charge after about two years. Did anyone do some custom work in your car that requires electricity? It could be this extra stuff is draining the battery.
There must be a regulator or stator issue but I dont know the details of this bike, the generator to charge the battery, a fuse, or wire is at fault is my educated guess, if you put a good battery in it, it should run until battery gets too weak to run the coil and generate a spark. This indicates a faulty charging system, not sure where it's located on your particular machine but thats' obviously the issue from your indications.
bad cable or bad battery. I bought a power supply for computer and power cord was actually bad. had a spare and worked like a charm.
usb connectors get misaligned sometimes. the cables are cheaper then move on to battery.
Maybe it wasn't running long enough to charge up the battery? Stop trying to jump it, when you are having problems with it dying, take the battery off and have it charged. And/or buy a $20 voltmeter to see what the battery shows. If it says less than 12 volts, it is discharged, and needs charging. A good battery that is not run down should have at least 12.5 volts. A new battery that is charged should have very close to 13 volts, maybe 12.8 volts. When you have the truck running, check the alternator for charging. You put the voltmeter right on the battery and check it again. This time, with truck running, battery should show at least 13.5 volts. That shows the alternator is working. A good alternator will put out about 13 or 14 volts-the regulator will keep it from going any higher to prevent problems, like a melting battery or electrical parts burning out. I would say get the charging system working right, then address the problem of dying at stop lights. That could be a carburetor problem, if the alternator is working.
sounds like you have got dead cells in your battery , they wont hold a charge , the loud click was probably the cells in the battery arking and killing the cells off ,id fit a new battery and all should be well.
hope this helps
kind regards
