Small cracks in the battery cables can allow corrosion to sneak in and reduce effectiveness. Replacing both the + and - cables will not hurt.

Have you tried a BFH rap on the solenoid when it does not start? Older solenoids get gummed up and need a little persuasion when warm. Sometimes an R&R on the solenoid with a di-electric grease replacement helps wonders.
