Hello scott-al, The fact that the engine starts with a jump should tell you something. Battery voltage is reching the starter ,with the jumpers, with no problem. When you use the batteries it only cranks a couple of times. So the problem may be between the batteries and the cables. Crank the engine and when it stops check the batteries and cables, see if any connection is getting hot. Don't lay on the connections long, it can be hot enough to burn you. I'm thinking a loose or dirty connection between any of the battery posts and one of the cables. A voltage test at the cables and the battery post, should give you the same reading. Are you sure the batteries were tested correctly? The load test should have been done on a fully charged battery at 1/2 the CCA of the battery rating. The battery to pass the test would have to have at least 9.6 volts after a 15 second load test at 70 degrees F. Guido.
