Sounds like dead cell in the battery.

Try switching the battery out with another vehicle at your residence.

I'd say "Have Autozone check the battery" but they don't always check bad in the store and on their equipment.

Tighten the neg cable as well.. G/L

check your terminals. try tilting the battery. make sure its held down properlly . might as well check small stuff and go bigger. than replace the most expensive to the worst. mine did this though and it was my terminals were loose. also check your grounds
