Battery faulty, poor earth; test with jump lead, terminals not fully tight, alternator; should give out 14.5 volts on first start up, faulty alternator can destroy a battery in minutes, disconnect it until you trace the fault. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
