Hi,
Had very similar some years ago on my Senator.
Finally traced to a poor / oxidised crimp connection of main cable into the battery terminal clamp connector.

Only needed the slightest move and it was OK again for a while.

It's not unheard-of for the terminal crimps to work loose. So I think, given that it came back to life, this is likely.

Start it up and turn on a few electrical loads and see if any of the terminals get hot. :y
