Probably 5 or 6 times in the
2 years we have owned it.
She had it checked recently &
they told here the battery &
and the charge system both
check out good.
We were gone for 10 days & it
started up no problem.
I talked to one of our local
mechanics & he told me that
a friend of ours was having the
same issue with a Chevy Tahoe,
and they found the hot terminal
on the battery was not making good
contact with the hot cable, even though
there was no corrosion. This could be
our issue. I am thinking that when it
won't start, you move the terminal a
little when you put the jumper cable
in place. I will check that first, the next
time it won't start.

Quote History Quoted:
How many times has your battery gone flat? The battery may have permanent damage from over-discharge.
My car lives in a garage with an alarm system, so I left the key in the ignition until I realized that it was draining the battery. Now I take the key out, and throw it on the dash.
ETA:
Oh, and I use a 3s LiPo RC battery to jump my truck. It's got 4" wires on it and will turn it over and start without issue, even when the truck battery is at 9V.
