It's very like a problem I had with an aluminium battery clamp - it kept
corroding.  Cleaning it up helped for a few days.  A proper plated brass one
cured it.  Could be a bad connection in the main lead or earth to frame.
Alternatively I wonder if the cranking current is heating the battery a bit
internally, and opening up a crack in a  plate connector.  It's perfectly
possible for an internal fault to develop in a new battery.
