Make sure both ends of both battery cables are clean and secure.

Turns out, there is/was a short in the ground wire coming from my brake controller. The wire melted while continual cranking. I cut the wire and it starts & runs great. Now I have to trace the wire and try to find where it was contacting live wires.
