car wont start
So my car has been acting up lately and it would die randomly after leaving it off for a few hours, so i filled up the battery with water and the car was fine for 2 days...now the car wont start at all, so when I put the key in the ignition and turn the key 2 clicks all the electronics turn on, but then when i go to turn the car on, theres a loud clicking noise and the car wont start, so I dont know whats wrong with the car...anyone know why my car would click when i try to start it?

The battery
is dead.You can put it on a 10amp charger and try to jolt the plates back to life by charging it over night.Or get a new battery MTP-1 about $110 bucks if you diy ask roadside what they charge before they come out.
770CCA rated with the vent tube from pep boys or sams club or call mb roadside and they will send out a truck diagnose the battery and install one at a fair price with no labor charge.
Is the original battery 11 years old or is this a new old car for you?

make sure the key is out while charging and after a night on charge test the battery with a hydrometer.
