Possibility:

Im investigating the thought that it could be a slipping Serpentine belt due to a loose tensioner. il come back to you on this.
Looks like it was a battery issue for me. One of the cells was playing up and thus the intermittent nature of it. my cranking output was also half now due to this issue. Luckily it was under the battery manufacturer warranty.
