A STARTER PULLING A LOT OF NORMAL "AMPS"......JUST WILL NOT WORK WITH A CRAPPY CONNECTION, THAT'S LIKE HAVING ONE LITTLE TEENY TINY STRAND OF COPPER WIRE, IN THE PLACE OF A BIG CABLE

A BAD BATTERY CONNECTION MAY ALSO HINDER THE ALTERNATOR FROM CHARGING THE BATTERY

Are the battery terminals clean and tight? If you can move them, they are too loose and in many cases, you will get one click from the starter and that's it.
