+1 for @

It's not the key fob battery. Otherwise, valet keys would be useless.
You can start with the battery but if it works after several attempts then that's not it. Your intuition about its likelihood of being an intermittent connection is good.
It's also good that you recognize not hearing the bigger sounds that you might expect to hear. First completely rule out the starter, and this includes looking for signal on the little connector. Only if it's not there should we start looking for stuff upstream. There's a relay to check if you don't see power at the smaller connector when the key is turned.
