it would kill it when the cells are exposed. you need to get destilled water from supersheep auto top up above cells . if battery is 5 years old then its probably soon dead .

well you got to charge it first . i guess its a not a calcium battery. the clicklick means there is no power left in the battery

Might pay to try and recharge it :) either by charger or push starting and then driving for 10mins or so.
If it's not the battery that's the problem, you've got a starter motor or solanoid problem.

also inspect what the lead plate look like are they straight or buckeld on each cell. keep lids unscrewd when charging with charger.

he means the battery is stuffed then not the car. and no you cant push-start a automatic its whywe like manual cars better as mechanics.

I used cold water from the jug, previously boiled. I was desperate and thought it would start if I put water in it.

the things that go on to the battery are the therminals from the car they got to be the same shape to match not have cutaway half of the therminal with a hole thru it on the battery , unlessyour car has that system. because if they use that non matching system it causes issues with powerflow after some time and then people start bashing and messing on the therminal making the problem worse by destroying the battery seal causing corosion on the therminals .
Yes, it looks like that now, I just checked. I have a red one and a blue one. Thank you.

maks sure they fit not a battery with half cut away therminals , as thats what they mostly haveand try to sell because they got no other batterys on board.

I told him the make and model of car so he must know what I need. But will check he doesnt cut the therminals.
