I would suspect the voltage regulator. The light flickering could be because of fluctuating voltage.
This however does not fit the no-start problem. Unless maybe you were not getting enough to trigger the starter relay.

Maybe a bad connection, dirty battery cable terminals would be a start. Make sure your ground connections are clean and intact. See if this buys you anything at all.

Well I tuned on the head light and started the car, it made a "click" sound and the whole thing die -.everything power off. BTW the battery charger won't start the car anymore, it must be the bad grounding problem, well how can I identify where the bad ground problem comes from Thanks

I suspect headlights dimming when you start the car would be normal on just about any car.
It sounds like you have a bad battery cable or connection.

They may dim, but they dont go dead as a turd, Bruce. High resistance in the power circuit, low battery capacity, or some such.
