Sounds like a bad battery connection. See if one or both are loose or corroded and in need of cleaning. If you can get them clean and the cable terminals tight it should be good. Sometimes there will be a spark pop sort of noise if the connection is barely there. And that would make a no start situation too. If you cant tighten them, time for one or both terminals to be replaced.
