could be bad grounds, corroded connection points on the main positive lead, grounds, and on the battery terminals.

Are you living in a cold climate with the wrong grade of oil. If you live in the cold run 5W30 in the winter, 10W30 is too thick when cold and will impede cranking.

Dead battery, this could be cause by bad alternator, bad battery, or a short.
