You say strong battery but if left for six weeks without a charge or running the engine the battery could get weak enough to not be able to start the car. There is a constant drain on the engine, power is used to keep all systems up and running where required. There could be a poor connection to the starter as well.
I hope this is not the OEM battery, it will not be reliable by now.
