Will not start

An odd one here.....every once in awhile, I will attempt to start my '02 9-3 and I will get nothing - there is no clicking as if the battery is faulty, absolutely no noise at all.
The warning lights light-up on the dash, the heating system starts, any electrical device is operative. I charged the battery before winter and whenever I hook up a meter, it shows that it's fully charged. The alternator checks out fine when I use one of those cigarette-lighter testers too.
After 20 minutes to up-to-2 hours it will start and the problem does not surface again for several weeks.
A mechanic once told me that it could be the key. I was skeptical, but I switched to using the second key and it worked for several months, but then it failed with that second key.....it could have worked with the first key all that time as well, but who knows? By the way, the batteries in both key fobs were replaced as a precaution.
I could never demonstrate this to a mechanic....any idea where to go from here?
