What do the battery cables look like. Corroded, Loose, Fraying? Is the alternator charging the battery?

When it doesnt start. Is it a no crank no start, or a crank no start. Meaning when turning the vehicle on do you hear the starter turning over the engine?

There is nothing. It doesn't even click. I do know what a car sounds like when it needs a battery and when you turn the key all it does is a rapid clicking noise. With this there is nothing. This car has always started immediately without hesitation.

I would bring it back to where ever installed the battery. It seems to me like there is a loose connection, because it does it at random. If you need to diagnosis yourself. When it doesnt start, have someone crank it while you wiggle the battery cables
