I don't know who tested the battery, but it might still have a bad cell- how old is it?- if it is older than 3 years, you can replace it with a new one and feel good because batteries should be replaced on a regular basis just like any batteries- other than that, check the connections, the ground, and the connection to the starter- sounds like it is working intermittently so these bad connections might be the problem-
