Another thought, check the cable's very well to make sure that no corrosion is inside the insulation where you can't see it. I had a mystery battery/electrical issue once before where that was the culprit. I'd cleaned the terminals and posts regularly and had checked them already. When I was pulling the battery to replace it (deperation...trying everything) I noticed a hairline crack in the insulation behind the terminal clamp. When I peeled it back the copper trands were filled with green corrosion. A new cable cured it.
