 ** power to the people (sometimes) **

 Sounds like a flaky connection at the battery.  You might want to pull
 the battery connectors, shine both the battery terminals AND the inside
 of the connectors with a wire brush, and reconnect them.  Second most
 likely cause is the connection at the other end of the fat (+) wire.
 There is usually a main fuse there.  Check for lose or flaky connection
 here, too.  It is also possible that there is a bad connection inside
 the battery.  This can happen if the terminals get twisted, pulled,
 or pushed too hard.
