Sounds like you could have a connection problem. Check that the battery cables are clean, and have a snug connection to the battery.
Also check your grounds, make sure they are clean and tight at the engine and frame.
Hopefully cleaning up your connections will solve your problem. If not, you will need a multimeter/DVOM to go further.
