Maybe there is corrosion on the battery terminals or cable ends. Check all the connections and make sure they are clean and tight.
Damaged or corroded wires? Sometimes the corrosion is hidden by wire insulation.
Put the car in gear with the engine switched off (2nd or 3rd), then push the car through one rotation of the wheels. Then put in neutral and try starting it.
