Had a similar prob getting off Channel tunnel in May. Battery less than a year old and just wouldn't do the biz despite having run OK earlier in the day. Managed to find a new one (after not letting engine stop and risk not working again for 4 whole hours, this included two "hot" fill ups ..thank God I had a spare set of keys...) and all has been fine.
I know it sounds silly but I reckon you should always change battery min every two years or best every year.

Someone will no doubt be able to point to one of Shazaam's posts where he recommends thicker gauge wires etc and I'm sure that's a good idea, but you can't beat a new battery!
