MY 2001 ML320 wont start

OK here goes:

So when I turn the ignition, it starts clicking. I though it was the battery, because jump starting it works fine. But this happened multiple times. Could it be the alternator, or anything worse? OR could the battery be just completely dead. I haven't changed it once yet.

And it couldn't be the battery.....but after 7 years with no replacement that would be the best place to start. Make sure you have the key out of the ignition and disconnect the ground before the positive when replacing it.
