car wont start

so my cars been sitting for a couple months without starting, last time i started was when i put lt headers on and then it sat for 2 months... tried to jumpstart it earlier this week after i put exhaust on it, and it charges right away..everything works electronicaly, but wheni tried to start itm it just clicks..the starter did, so i replaced it...does the same thing...but the alternator belt roataes SLOWLY, and it still does nothing but click...., as soon as i take the jumper cables off thebattery, it immediatly dies...what do u guys think...bad battery(obviously)..bad alternator?..i know its not the starter, the solenoid looks good still.....this is pretty annoying.... any help pls!

Sounds like the battery or maybe poor connections to it.
