C63 Fails To Start! Help Please

I left my C63 sitting for about a week (no long at all)

Two days ago I went and tried to start the car and the car wouldn't start. All the lights are on music is on but when I go to crank it. I just hear 1 click and nothing happens. I believe its the starter but I'm not sure. I had a local mechanic stop by my house and he said its the battery. I tried jumping the car and even charged the battery for a couple hours and still won't start. I called the dealership and they told me they can have it towed from my house to the dealership free of charge.

Anyone have an issue like this before? Car is 9 years old, still on the same stock battery.

Also my car is parked on my driveway front facing the house. Is it going to be a problem because the car is RWD and up on a slant?

Thanks!

Take the battery out of the car and down to a local auto parts store and have them test it. The battery is probably gone..

Check battery first at a local parts store.

With the ignition on, can you move the steering wheel or take it out of park?
If not, then it is the electronic steering lock. $800 fix at a Indy and god knows how much at a dealer

9 year old battery, radio plays...but only click sound when attempting to start. Not enough amperage in that battery. Replace battery
