There is probably a small drain on the battery - perhaps the luggage compartment light isn't switching off.

The car alternator isn't really capable of recharging a battery due to it's high internal impedance. It is better to recharge it independently.

It was running fine, and then we heard a clicking sound and it just quit, now it will not start

Make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good. You can't do any testing if battery is down. Forget the jumping. Also, check your charging system.
Does starter motor crank? If not, check wiring circuits for the starter motor. Any testing at the starter, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and functional parking brake is set, Safety is your responsibility.
If you have a digital multimeter, you can do some testing. If the battery is down, put a charger on it.
Sometimes if battery voltage is lost, it can effect your security system. I haven't looked to see if it will effect your starter motor?

I have an Acadia 2007 and I tried to start the engine. The engine didn't start and the key has stuck into ignition and I cannot remove it How can I fix it. (The stick is in parking position). Thanks

The battery is either dead, or the battery voltage is too low to power up the lock solenoid in the steering column to release your key. Jump start it, and then go get your battery/charging system diagnosed!

What can i do if the elctricity is less than the recommended level in gmc acadia 2009?

Are you talking about low battery voltage, or low charging voltage?

If the charging voltage is around 14v, then the alternator is fine. If around 12.5, then replace.
If the battery voltage at rest is less than 12.5, then replace the battery.

Truck will not turn over, gauges all come on but nothing from the engine, acts like dead battery but it is brand new...it did it before and was told it was the battery, put a new one in....worked great for...

your charging system isn't working, if you replaced the battery and it worked for a few days, then its not being re charged after starting, I'm assuming you cleaned and tightened all the battery post connections when you installed the new battery , if not do so ,, charge the battery from an outside source, once you know its fully charged,, use a meter, and start the car ,, check the voltages at the battery posts,, you should be getting a reading of 13.5-14.5 volts, if not your alternator isn't charging the battery

GMC Acadia Battery?

There is no way Onstar would drain your battery in two days. Electric seats? They only draw power when they are running, same as any other device in your car, except the clock. You have either a ground -fault issue or a dome light is always on. Good luck.
