Check and double check and triple check the main electrical leads connecting to your battery. Make sure that the ring terminals at the battery aren't worn, or loose, or that the wires haven't started to break or fray.

My wire from the starter to the alternator recently burnt out and gave me similar symptoms before it melted.
