Check the fluid level in the battery if it is low it will show a full charge on the charger but it will not have enough power to to start your ATV.

The starter solenoid could be defective (the positive battery cable goes to it).
Feel the solenoid when you push the starter button. If the solenoid is doing the clicking, then replace it.
When you push the starter button, the electromagnet in the solenoid won't hold the "contact" in place. The clicking noise is the contact jumping around inside.
