Generally, clicking happens with a lack of a strong enough current. A bad battery is normally the cause of this, but I have seen bad starters do this as well.

5 month old interstate mtp battery (i sell tons of these at my work and they do go bad now and then)
battery connections are pretty clean
both alternator and starter connections are tight
its just weird this happened so suddenly with no symptoms or intermittent issues. also that when i take the jumper off that it has no power i cant even get it. to click or do anything
