Dave,

When you replace your battery cables make sure there is no corrosion where they connect to.

I have had good luck cleaning corroded cables by using baking soda mixed with vinegar. I place the baking soda into a baby food jar poor the vinegar in and stick the end of the corroded cable into the mixture. The chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda will clean off the corrosion. This only works if the corrosion is near the cable end, if it is corroded within the insulation its time for a new cable.
