OK
Finally I discovered the problem and easy fix
The Second terminal on the bettery Positive post was loose [not the battery terminal]and had overheated and melted the plastic into the contact area causing an insulation effect !!!! What a mess
I filed the melted plastic away and made metal to metal contact with a tightened the terminal
WOW 500 miles without a hesitation !!!!! I Went to Maine this week and back
CLEAN AND TIGHTEN YOUR TERMINALS !!!!
Problem solved with no dealer involved !!!!
