Car won't start, just give clicks sound when cranking

My friend has a 95 Legend, sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't.
It just give the click...clicks...click..sound when cranking (lots of clicks sound).
is it the alternator because it doesn't charge the battery?
battery replaced just few months.

you should ALWAYS have the electrical system tested when it needs a battery to see if the cables and alternator are good

sounds like the battery is dead. Have the battery load tested. If its bad then its a good bet that the alternator isnt charging the system.
