    Default Car not cranking sometimes

    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.

    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
