There are 2 posibilities;
The battery may not have enough voltage when, "under Load". Meaning it has voltage but when a demand is put on it for high voltage, such as starting your car, it cannot produce the voltage or amperage needed.
There may be a problem with the starter.
First, take the battery to an Advance Auto or Auto Zone and they will test it for free to see if it has any, "under load" issues. Sometimes a bad cell in the battery can cause this.
