It still sounds like a weak battery to me. How did you check it? Simply
measuring the voltage with the starter disengaged won't tell you too
much as you're not measuring the battery under load. Try removing
the cables and making sure that the posts and cable ends are clean
(no corrosion). If that doesn't help, try putting the battery on a charger,
try another battery, or get someone to help try jump starting it. I'd not
try looking for other faults until you've exhausted any possibility that
the battery's not the problem.
