The terminal connections on the batt are renowned for being cr@p, real ministry of Cr@ design. The only way I have found of getting them to really connect up tight is to undo them fully, use a hammer and socket to bash the connectors down the posts, then tighten them with the stupid bolt. This might be part of the problem.

Agreed. I did say it might only be part of the problem. I think a few of us now have been trying to convince the OP to get his batt drop tested.
But intermittent faults are a pain at the best of times.
