Start with getting the battery load tested. Sounds like you have a bad cell. If you hook it up to a regular charger it will show low and 10 minutes later show full charge. That would also indicate a bad cell.

I’ve had the same situation, found the probable cause here using a search — battery cables less than sufficiently tight — implemented correction and recorded my results. Others have had it be the connections at the starter. Same symptom, similar cause, different location on the car.
