[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1454484, member: 19880"] I suspect that if you had a meter on that battery when it clicked, the voltage would have dropped way down. Sometimes, a battery cell will show "full" voltage when there is no demand but falls flat on its face when you try to draw any current - effectively "open". The only way to tell for sure is a proper load test after fully charging the battery. I would never assume that a new battery is OK but, as you say, further diagnostics are needed - including connections. Note: The boost wouldn't really help much if the relay was bad... [/QUOTE]
