Ok, so was going to take a video and the darn thing started right up. I really don't like inconsistent electrical issues. Any thoughts on things I should have on hand in case this shows up again?

My OEM original battery in my DK45S would turn on the dash light go through pre-heat and loose everything when the starter was hit. Loose dash lights until the key was cycled back off and on again Your can put the charger on that battery. Flip the charge swtich on and off like turning on and off a key, and it would start for a week. That battery also tested with 12 volts from the positive terminal to the plastic battery case. Faulty battery that if you put it on the charger prior to testing would test good. Had to test while in failed position due to an intermittent bad cell.just always act like you’re going to take a video when you want to start it, and it’ll get scared and start right up ……. (ha ha)
That's what mine was, although the positive connector looked OK, there was a bit of fuzz growing out from under the wire insulation. I think the connector, wasn't all lead, and there was some kind of galvanic/oxidization going on between it and the copper. I cut the positive wire back to nice looking copper and got a good connector at the hardware store and its been fine ever since.A poor battery connection can also cause it. The load created by the starter cause a voltage drop that caused the starter solenoid to disengage temporarily, and then when the load drops the voltage returns which allowed the starter solenoid to re-engage. Rinse and repeat.
