things cool  down a little, connection is restored.

I have had this happen more than one time with  batteries - the

everything looks good on the outside, there is no current  path on the 
inside. Then, suddenly as it failed, the connection restores  itself. 
This only happens a few times however before the battery fails  
completely.

I remember driving cross-country from Detroit to L.A. in my 1952  Plymouth.  
(Wish I had it back.)  It was a non-stop trip and we had  been driving all 
night at freeway speeds.  As I pulled into a gas station,  the bump at the 
driveway was all it took to put me into complete  electrical failure... No lights, 
engine or anything.  I coasted to the  gas pump, wondering what I was going to 
do in a strange small town in the middle  of the night.  
 
One small twist of the ground cable on the battery, and all was well.   
Apparently the continuous high amperage of the lights, etc. had put the  connection 
over the edge when I hit the bump.
 
Not bad, though, considering that it was my "Go-to-work beater, and that it  
had no preparation for a hurry-up trip!
