Sounds like a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad connection. Start right at the battery. Do not be fooled by "new" looking connections, you have a loose or corroded one somewhere. The negative "ground" connection is infamous for causing this symptom.

Plugging in you create an alternate BATTERY complete with ground.

Your battery has a bad connection. Go for it.
