There is plenty of power to power lights, cd etc. After a long run it will often start first time for weeks at a time but then "decide " to not start again for another few weeks without a push and bump.

3 potential problems. I always check them in order from cheapest to most expensive. Check the battery terminals for corrosion. You may have a good enough connection to power the lights, but not enough to carry the required amperage or current to the starter. I have had this happen before. Secondly, for the same reason as above, the connection at the starter may have corrosion issues. Thirdly, your starter solenoid is worn out and simply having a hard time engaging. You can rebuild the solenoid, but i would just replace the starter in this case.

Have your alternator checked out, it is probably not putting enough power back into your battery on short journeys but producing enough power to keep your warning lights from coming on.

It still sounds to me like the battery is the problem

I suspect either starter motor or starter solenoid.
Could possibly be the wiring for one or the other of these.

battery or starter, have them both checked. Good Luck
