Poor connection on the battery terminal?
There's some paste you can buy (forget the name) that you smear on the terminals, which prevents dirt and whatnot from forming an insulation layer between the terminal and connector.

Had this problem before. Battery terminals were messing with my mind I tell u. I went ahead and got aftermarket terminals and now no issues.
