Broke down agin. Fed up now.

if the relay is just clicking it is because it is not getting enough voltage.. check the voltage across the battery whilst cranking.. you need a reading under load to give you an idea as to how healthy the battery is atm.. if it drops close to or below 10v whilst cranking then the battery is knackered or needs a good charge.. when you bought the battery, did you check the voltage across the terminals i think it has to read atleast 12.4v otherwise you need to put it on charge for between 6 to 8 ours at 4 amps.. if you do not do this it drastically reduces the life span of the battery..

also what amperes is your starter relay rated to?

if the relay is clicking it means it is working, when a relay does nothing that's when you start to think about replacing it after ensuring your battery has sufficient charge under load

I only have a 4amp charger unfortunately.. but yeah now that you mention it that sounds about right, but I've had no issues so far..

Amps and volts are not the same thing..lol

Charge at no more than 10% of the batteries AH rating. Optimates are good :thumbup
