When is the last time you change your battery? Battery usually last about 2yrs, though my last Amaron last more than 2.5 yrs.

From your description, seems like its the battery fault.

Need to check your battery water, if the water level is too low, can affect your battery performance.  Use distilled water to top it up.

Your battery is more than 3 years old,  it is time to replace it.

from my experience, if can crank but cannot start, means battery problem. If no cranking sound, then maybe starter motor problem.

If while driving than engine die off, maybe alternator, MAF sensor etc problem.....

as far as I know, battery is no use once car started cos alternator provides all the current needed eg. charge battery
