This alone helps A LOT! You may not be getting enough "juice" (i.e. cold cranking amps) through that connector. Swap out your battery cables for ones that fit the battery (or exchange the battery for the right posts) and you should experience a world of difference. Even the slightest loose cable can result in a no start condition that you described (every accessory works but the starter only goes "click"). I can't recall how many times I've had this happen to me (i.e. loose ground cable). Good luck!
