Car drives fine on Friday. Today it wasn't turning on (video). Then it did

Hi all

I drove the car fine all Friday.

Today (last night) I tried to turn it on and you can see what happened in the video (you might need to unmute)

I went upstairs, came back, played with it a bit more, and then it eventually started.

Any ideas?

voltage is not CCA(cold cranking amps), you can easily have a 12-14v battery that has .5 of an amp in it which wont even run a headlight...12v on a battery does not mean the battery is good

you need to LOAD test the battery, heck if the car wont start, clean the terminals of the batter and tighten it back up, re-test, if it wont start..

the only "free" load test i know of to try is simple enough..flip your wipers up off the glass, turn the key on, and turn the heater on full blast, and listen to it, now turn on the wipers, did it slow?..now turn on the headlights, did it slow now?, hit the brakes and flip on the hazzards, if this makes the heater sound slowed down or "pulse" with the flashers then youve got a low amp weak battery in need of replacement
