Kevin: The first thing to try is to clean the battery post and terminals with a wire brush. Auto parts stores have an inexpensive brush that works on the post and terminals. If there is no improvement, your push button switch may be building up corrosion across the switch such that mere operation of the switch the second or 3rd time cleans enough corrosion that contact is made. Try, with the ignition switch off, pushing the button multiple times as this may clean the switch. Depending on how the push button switch is made, you may be able to open it up and clean the contacts. Disconnect and remove the switch 1st. If none of the above works, replace the push button switch.
