Check the connections and fuses. Does it turn over at all? Do you hear a clicking? Moving to the correct section.

Starter could be going out. When mine failed it would only click once. Similar symptoms to a battery, but being intermittent and knowing my grounds were ggood I replaced the starter. Fixed the issue

Put a volt meter on the battery and see what it actually reads.

It takes very little to turn lights on but it takes a whole lot to turn over an engine

A new battery doesnt mean isnt defective
