JD, I had a 99 Buick do a similar thing to two batteries. Third batter I bought at local auto parts store where I know the parts person and I told him the story. He said that on the GM side mount terminal that people torque the bolt too tight and it eventually causes the internal connection to fail and go open circuit. He convinced me to buy a battery with both side and top post terminals. He said solution was to buy adapters from side to post terminal. About two yeas later I shut the car off while my wife went in to the corner store for about 5 minute and when she came out and I went to start the car I heard like a welder ark and then no more power. I always carry jumper cables in the back, so took jumper cables and jumper end from top post to side post and had power again. In this case it was the negative side terminal that let go and I just used the jumper cables to jumper from top posts to frame and I was good to go. So auto parts guy was correct on side terminal battery failures. All of a sudden the connection goes open circuit or a high resistance with not enough current to run the starter.
Could be your problem but with out top posts there is no way to tell is it is an open terminal or a dead battery.
