Corrosion/buildup at battery terminals was excessive. In the case of the positive terminal, the connecting ring around the terminal had corroded sufficiently that it could no longer maintain a connection. Terminal on vehicle was replaced at no charge under warranty. Battery was not replaced. I deem the battery connectors at the end of the cables that connect to the battery are insufficient thickness. Recommend regular checking/maintenance and removal of corrosion to prolong life.
