Sounds like you have bad battery terminals, and/or bad battery cables. Usually what happens is they get corrosion (even underneath the wires rubber insulation where you can't see it) and begin to break. Even too much corrosion will cause this but if it happened out of nowhere, It's probably a bad terminal/wire or even a bad ground

Definitely check your grounds. The main culprit is usually the main ground from the battery to the engine block or frame. This has happened to me more times than I care to remember. The best thing to do in this situation is find all the ground wires you can, take them apart and clean them and the surface they bolt to with sandpaper or wire brush. Make sure you have bare metal surfaces before putting it back together. I also use dielectric grease on all those connections, plus the terminals. Basically you need to do a tune up on all your electrical connections.
