Could be dead battery. Bad battery cables.

Check and clean all battery connections, at both ends of the cables. Sometimes they can build up corrosion that's not visible until you disconnect them.

Same issue happened with me...it turned out the battery was shorted out internally. Try a new battery and cross your fingers....
