2018, 41K. SLT with push button and remote start.

We were out and about. Stopped the truck and went to restart it. Immediately I felt the brake be a little spongy. I pressed the start button, lights came on but no start, just a click. We tried this a few times, with both fobs in range same thing. We then tried to use the remote star nothing there either. We thoguht the battery might be near the end of it's cycle, two or three tries then it started. Battery? Starter? Alternator?

Got home sshut it off then on a few time, no issues, it started w/o any fanfare. I went to O'Rileys, they checked the battery, starter and alternator, all fine. We are headed on a trip this weekend and want to get it resolved before. Does the hive here have any thoughts?

Battery cables can be be bad or bad grounding. Check resistance within cables. I have seen some posts on the issue. Check youtube. There are some videos on this issues.

Turns out it was the battery.
I was gonna comment and say this. My truck just started acting funky and autozone told me my battery was perfect. I went with my gut and replaced it anyway. No problems since.
