I've had similar issues happen on my 2IS350, 3IS350F, and 1RCF. Most of the time, you try to start it again it will go through. And for the times that it didn't click, it means either your battery drained or your battery reached EOL. Sometimes its just too cold.
Thanks BossHu. My first thought at the time was maybe that the battery was having issues. Mine's only 1.5 years old but I have read in this forum of others having premature battery drain issues.

Will the dealer be able to diagnose the battery under warranty?

Battery is a tricky subject. Too many factors in play. Weather, drain, usage etc...
Personal experience, on my 2IS350, I swapped the battery out at approx 36,000. Never drained it. At that time I was averaging 20k miles a year. I was a high mileage driver back then. So it lasted just around 1.5 years.
Its a $120-$200 battery (last I checked Autozone) for the 3IS. Most will hold a 3-5 year warranty.
My best advice would have the dealer check it. If they don't know whats going on or say everything is normal. Then swap the battery if it continues to happen.
