It could be that the battery is not fully charged or that the battery is incapable of holding a full charge, or that the starter is faulty or that you've just been trying to start the engine for a long time and ran the battery down.
Understand that a battery is just an electrical storage device. It only STORES electrical power for use NEXT time you want to start the engine.
* If the battery is not fully charged (it didn't get enough electrical energy put back last time it was used), it may not have enough electrical energy to start the engine. * If the battery is going bad, it may not have enough electrical energy to start the engine. * If the starter is going bad, it may pull more energy from the battery than it can provide.
