A weak battery will allow the radio and lights to work but you will not be able to start or crank over the engine. Have the battery tested as your first step. It should have a voltage of around 12.4V, any reading below 12V, you should replace it.

Its is the CCA's on the battery. This happened to my car, and the OEM Hyundai and recommended replacement batters Cold Crank Amps are too low. I replaced mine with a 600 CCA and never had the problem again.
