If you go back to square one did you verify that the battery was charged when you let it sit? And it's brand new? Make sure your Alt isn't failing leaving it running off of the battery. No offense but I've seen (and myself included) people over look the most obvious.

Otherwise, are the wiring harnesses in good condition/ I've found a couple of problems like this on mine. Check all of the connections especially in the engine bay (ie. follow the leads from the battery, I had a bad connector at the alternator, and AC compressor). They're not easy to find especially in this situation. Follow wiring harnesses and see where they would touch metal (ground) and check if it's worn.

Mine used to run funny when it rained because of the AC connector.
