First thing I would do is clean all electrical connections in the battery to
starter circuit. A bad connection (or more likely a number of slightly bad
connections) can cause the symptoms you describe. When you connect the
battery charger on 'start' mode you are still depending on some those
electrical connections.
The battery cables are usually most suspect but do them all - the ground
cable's connection to the chassis, the ground strap between the block & the
chassis & the positive cable's connection at the starter motor (do that one
with the battery disconnected!).
