Default 97 neon wont start.

ok here are the symptoms. I put on a new battrey and the car started and worked for awhile. I tried to start it yesterday and not even a click from the starter.
I replaced the starter and reconected the wires and the batt. i tried to turn it over and I got a clickling from the starter. I got a boost and the car started perfect.
I let it idle for a few minutes cause the Batt. light was on. I went for a drive about 15min then shut the car off. It would not start. completly dead. charged the batt. and put it back in the car. Turned the ignition and only got a clicking from the front and then nothing the headlight wont come on the insturmation in the dash was low. Cab light was real bright.
Blower on the fan worked but low.
I am getting a clicking noise from the box of fuses on the batt case.
Checked all the fuses they seem good.
ANy Ideas I am at point of confusion.

you may have gotten a bad battery. try taking it out and having it tested and possabley replaced.

as electricity is impossible to see unless it arcs
how about putting a voltmeter on the battery and see if its taking a charge and how long it will hold a charge.
