When you first start turning it over there is a good connection and then as the wires/connections heat up the connection is lost making it sound like a dead battery. I would go through them again and check to see if a connection is loose. Soon after trying to start it, feel your cables and connections for a hot spot somewhere. When you find heat that will be your area of concern. If you have a voltmeter hook it up to your battery and try to start it. The voltage should drop a volt or two as you are trying to start it. If it comes back up and your starter slows, you have a loose connection. If the voltage drops drastically the battery is dead. If you have a loose connection, move your voltmeter positive leads to the next junction or connector and do it again. When you find one that drops drastically that will be your loose connection. Be aware it could be on either the positive or negative side of the cables and not just the positive.</p></blockquote><p></p>
