Car not cranking sometimes

[k20ej8]

Ok so last night my battery was dead and tried to turn the key heard a click but wouldnt turn over. Jumped it and everything was fine so i figured it was my battery. I went to advanced auto today and got it tested and the results came out

voltage: 12.57v
Measured:935 CCA
RAted:410CCA
Temperature:72F

my battery is more than what it should be so it should crank everytime. Now in the morning i put the battery back in and same thing, the first time i try to crank it it clicks, then i try again and its completly dead. I jump the car and its fine. Turn it off and try to crank it again and same thing happens first time it clicks, then i try again and its completely dead. Does my battery have a bad cell? Or is it Alternator/Starter issues.

REps for fast answer

bad ground, bad connections, could be bad starter if it comes down to it.

well i was trying to eliminate the alternator not charging up the battery.

check the grounds, power to starter, power to alternator. fuses.

took off all the grounds cleaned it, terminals have no corrosion, even tried hitting the starter while trying to crank. the first time i try to crank it it clicks from the engine bay area, then next time i try complete dead

[k20ej8]

forgot to mention i just bought a new battery too and shit does the same thing

even though no corrosion on the terminals the inside of it could be corroded and bad

and i would say its probably the starter thats the problem or the wires on it thats bad

starter signal wire loose?

has nothing to do with car starting.

...LOLOLOL :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

Terminals loose would have been my 1st guess.

well if thats the case, trade batteries with whomeever you traded earlier that worked :ninja:
