if the starter motor is clicking then there is not enough charge left in the battery 
you need to get it charged up and running then check the battery is getting around 14.4 volts which means the alternator is charging the battery up when running 
does the battery light come on when the ignition is switched on or whislt running? 
if there is not battery light then it suggests there is a problem with the alternator 
even a blown battery light on the dash will stop the alternator charging
