Engine starting problem

Engine won’t start sometimes after going for a drive, I stopped to get some fuel and the car wouldn’t even turn over, no power at all no lights. Seems like a battery problem, BUT I got the battery tested and it’s complete fine. Tried starting it again the other day and same problem, so left it a day and went to try again and it fired up no problem! Anyone know what this could be or what could be causing it?
Thanks
Jack

Sounds like the earth on the battery there has been a number of people saying the same thing . take off and give it a good clean

I agree, check the earths but also check that the small black wire on the positive terminal of the battery is sound.
