Although the battery cable -> starter cables may look OK and feel tight it
is a Good Idea to remove, clean & secure each one. The starter is a big
current draw. One iffy connection (or a few slightly iffy connections) can
prevent enough electrons from being able to flow to operate the starter.
Even if it still proves to be a bad battery or another component
cleaning/securing all connections is not time wasted (and no money is wasted
either!).
