ok i trickle charged my battery 16 hours, hooked it up, got lights, and tried to start. I got a clik sound like a short. and nothing.... no lights nothing after a little bit of time another faint click and the lights go back on. some sort of time delay fuse or something.. my question is - is my battery done for or would you say I have other issues? I get about 13.8 volts across the poles.

Check the main and starter relays - also, try to jump start with a car (car engine off) if it starts fine that way, then the battery is probably the problem. I bet on a bad relay.
stupid factor....check that the battery cables are tight...
the click is a relay doing it's job....ok might still have bad contacts in the relay
