battery needs to be replaced?

Hi all,

So 2 weeks ago my battery died, I took it out, recharged it, put it back in, and bike started up again.  For the next 2 weeks the bike usually started without a problem, though sometimes I noticed the tachometer to be weird.

2 days ago the bike wouldn't start again, so I took the battery out again and charged it over night.  Put the battery in this morning, and bike still wouldn't start.  The lights come on, and then the bike just makes a little clicking noise when I press the start.

Does that mean my battery is completely shot?  Should I just get a new one?  Could there be other problems that I should take the bike in the shop to get it checked out? (I am not mechanically inclined at all, and I park on a sidewalk, so minimal space to take bike apart to fix stuff)

If it is just the battery, where(online preferably) can I get a replacement?  I have the Battery Tender Junior, (6V 750mA), is that enough to charge up a brand new battery?

Thanks!
