Won't crank...

About a week ago I tried to start the NSX and the battery was dead. Understandable, because I had not driven it in about a month. I pulled the cables off the battery and hook up a slow charge. The next day I put everything back and she started right up.

Well, a few days later I went to start it again and this time it seemed to have plenty of juice, but the engine would not crank. This time I hooked up a battery tender and let it work until I had a steady green light. Again, it wouldn't crank. The other odd thing is the remote worked to lock the door, but not when unlocking. I played with this by locking and unlocking manually and that part finally worked. But when I turn the key in the ignition, I hear a relay click, but no starter movement.

I need to take it for emmisions inspection next week, or pay a penalty. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks Rick

I cleaned and tightened the terminals again, no luck. I pull the cables and put the battery back on the big charger. I grasping now. Thanks

factory alarm or aftermarket?
 
All fixed (thanks to Brandon)..The battery just was not charge fully. The acccessories worked great but the engine would not crank.

I cleaned the terminals, charged the battery for about 3-4 hours and reconnected the terminals. Started instantly. I then hooked up my new battery tender to keep things going.

Thanks to Bridgewater Acura and esspecially Brandon for thier help...
