Most motorists will have had that horrible, sinking feeling when they start their car and only hear a sluggish crank, followed by a few clicks. It's a sign that your battery has gone flat since you last used your vehicle, and it's going to ruin your day.
You might get away with a quick charge up, or you might be able to jump start it. You might have to call in breakdown assistance, or at the very least swap your battery over. Either way, it's a sure sign that your battery is not in fine fettle. You might get away with having it reconditioned, but it's probably a good idea to look for a new one.
It's no secret that batteries can be expensive, especially if you have stop/start or it's a posh lithium battery, but there are ways to save money on a replacement, if you know where to look.
