car wont start :(

ive read all the threads on de-flooding the engine and issues with not starting but i wanted to make one to just get feedback for my case

problem: i garage my car for winter so i dont use it at all i start it once or twice a week. this time i went to start it today after sitting for at least 5-6 days it sounds like it wants to turn over but it wont. you turn the key and its like click click click....and doesnt turn over. its not the battery i dont think cuz everything in the car comes on(lights, my radar, radio ect...) anyone have any ideas cuz im just frustrated as hell

Yes it's your battery most likely. Check the connections on the terminals, wiggle them and clean if dirty. Check the water level(don't believe in no-maintenance it's probably low). Put a charger on it and then try it tomorrow or jump it now and drive it for awhile.
