Weak battery, lights and gauges still work but the battery is too weak to power the Starter

Yea but I took it to get checked and they said the battery reads full just one voltage short of where it should be. After having it checked as soon as I got home it would start back up .

Maybe a bad positive/negative Terminal Connection thats corroded or not tightened down enough, clean up the connecting area with wire brush. Ground wires connected to engine may be loose. This will cause a one click when starting the car too
