Car wouldn't start like low battery, then clicking sounds.

What is your question?

Used the remote key while in the car to start up and leave on a trip. Sound made of engine not wanting to turn over. Turned it off and then a loud clicking sound started continuous for 30 minutes until AAA service arrived. He started car with battery equipment after he disengaged the starter motor. I do not know whether there is a battery problem or a starter problem. Need help.
