    if it's just clicking, it has to be the battery. There is not enough juice getting to the starter to get it to turn over. try jumping with another car

    even optima batteries can drain... it just takes a lot longer. my guess is you've got parasitic draw somewhere

    Sorry to say but OPTIMS are junk. I had a couple and they both died, One day i would get in a car and have barely any power. Get a jump start and if your car doesnt start than there could be a loose connection or your starter is going out.
