turning over but just clicks all over

i think my batteries may be shot or computer fried...
my batteries were low so i put the battery charger on high boost and started cranking it turned over real slow then started clicking so i waited about 10 minutes and turned my key on and my volt meter on the dash said bout 12-14 volts so i cranked again and it just clicked a bunch then my wait to start light came back on and went off alot and the solenoid (might be glow plug relay im not sure) directly on the middle of the engine was clicking... i checked all my fuses and they were good so i went to check my codes i plugged my superchip in and it went through the credits and i pushed the button with the key off then i turned the key on like it says ya know and the superchip reset and started with the credits again...any help?

Sounds like those batteries are shot. Will it jump start off another vehicle?

Might be a good time of year for everyone to go brush and turn those connections. Seem to be a few issues with connectivity lately. It's becoming contagious!

I thought cleaning the battery terminals was what you were supposed to do while you are waiting for the oil to drain.

It is one of those simple things that we all forget from time to time.
