It is likely only clicking due to low voltage and the battery charger not quite having enough power to both charge the dead battery and run whatever is trying to run in the vehicle.
Does ticking over charge battery?
Yes, the alternator does charge the battery while the car is idling – regardless of the load on the battery. However, if your electrical use load (radio, lights, fan, etc) exceeds the amount of charge the battery is receiving from the alternator, you will end up with a discharged battery at some point.
What to do if your laptop is plugged in but not charging?
First, check the integrity of the battery. If your laptop comes with a removable battery, take it out, and hold the power button down for about 15 seconds to drain any residual power from the device. Then, with the battery still removed, plug in the power cable and turn the laptop on.

What is this clicking sound while trying to charge the battery?
The clicking sound is coming from the fuse panel next to the battery, not the charger itself. Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll remove the battery and take it to the auto parts store. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Why does my battery keep clicking on the relay?
I suspect this is not happening. Either the battery has a bad cell (five charged cells and one dead one = ~10.5v battery) or it is simply not charging. The relay clicking should not ‘block’ charging, but with only a 2a charger, it may be consuming electricity as fast as the charger can supply.
Why does my car charger keep clicking on?
I would fully charge the battery with the car disconnected, then hook up the fuses back to where they are and while that relay is clicking very quickly/loudly, try to locate which relay that is. You likely have a faulty switch of sorts that is triggering that relay to click on and then back off.
Why is my cell phone charger not charging?
Either the battery has a bad cell (five charged cells and one dead one = ~10.5v battery) or it is simply not charging. The relay clicking should not ‘block’ charging, but with only a 2a charger, it may be consuming electricity as fast as the charger can supply. Again, remove the batt, then let it trickle until you’re reading a good bit over 12v.
