I went to take my car out for the first time this spring and had a similar issue.

Looked into the fuse box and noticed fuse 7 blown. 5 amp fuse. Put a new one in, tried starting again and still just got a click but the fuse didn't blow.. Figured perhaps the battery was low. Put on the battery tender. Will try again later today or tomorrow and see what happens then.

I do not think a 'battery tender' has enough charging current to fully charge your battery. In fact, the two tenders I have caution not to try to charge a low discharged battery.
