Buick Ownership
2020 Buick encore
When I went to start the car the start stop buttons green light was on, the shifter would move back and forth and the engine just clicked like the battery was dead. Put a portable jumper on it and it said battery was good. After a half hour or so all the lights on the car turned off , like the car was off, and then it started up fine and worked normally. Anyone have this happen?

Did you step on the brake pedal when you tried to start it?
 
If you have the OEM battery it's time to change it. Batteries are good for 4-6 years. I would not trust a portable jumper to tell me if the battery is good. The fact that you jumped it and it started is telling me the battery isn't holding a charge. To operate properly modern vehicles need 12.6 volts or more after resting with the vehicle turned off for at least 10 minutes.
