acts like a dead batter but will still start

OK... here's a good one for ya, my truck RANDOMLY will act like it has a dead battery when I go to start it (relay chattering and very slow crank)... but let it sit for a min after trying to start it and it will start, sometimes cranking slow but other times like normal? battery tested fine at 710ca... any thoughts or ideas?

I had a problem once where my batt terminal was loose or stripped and it wouldn't get good contact when the starter engaged. I'd also check the battery ground.
