    Check both ends of both battery cables. They should be clean and tight.
    I'd pay particular attention to the Positive connection at the battery. Between the battery cable, the spacer, the Pos bolt and the battery terminal, something is likely corroded.
    Check for any draw on the battery that could pull it down overnight.

    I would remove the battery and place it on a charger. I've seen too many inexperienced auto parts store employees do a cursory test of batteries and then pronounce them good. My bet is the battery is bad and needs recharging or replacing. This link may help:

    I used my battery tester after they did and it was good and I had it on the charger so I am sure it has a full charge
