Lets see what you guys think
Parked the car in the garage Friday after work....got in it yesterday afternoon and its dead. Turned the key to the on position lights came up....hit the car button.....click click click click....all light dim to barely nothing.
Hooked it up to the batter charger...all lights come back on fine (when charger is hooked up) still get the click click click click from the starter. Take the charger (even after a long charge) off and the lights struggle to come up still get the clicking.
What do you guys think? Battery is 3 year old everlast (previous owner). I have a good feeling its the battery but am a bit hesitant because it reads a decent charge before start up. Havent gotten to checking fuses or taking it to Advanced yet but it will be done tonight.

I'm thinking battery. If it's taking a deep cycle charge you should have enough juice to start the car even if the alternator's FUBAR. If the battery has a dead cell as I suspect then it will appear to be charging but the current can't move pole to pole.
I'd take the battery and have it checked.

Its the battery. That happened to mine about a month ago. Exactly what your explaining. I found out that the s2000's battery needs to be pretty much fully charged. If it goes down just a little then its done. Have no idea why. I ended up taking the battery out charging it still wouldnt do anything, but i put in my crx and cranked it up. You could tell it was weak though. I bought a new battery and it was fine. Dont try and push it off and get it going cause even if you do you wont get like 100 yards down the road and it will start dying and then come back on and the die again. I barely got it back home after that one.
