E53 X5 4.4 Not Starting Just Clicking When Key Turned

When/if you are looking at the battery next, see if you can find the production date code.  It used to be in the form of four digits.  Week/Year.  That will give you an idea of age as ref'd above.  FYI the same code system is used on car tyres too....

Can be early sign of alternator fault!

If you want to check for that too then with the engine running at a fast idle (1,000-1,200 rpm) and an accurate meter you should get approx 14.4 to 14.6V at the jump terminals under the bonnet.
