Strange start/no start issue

So here is the scoop. Its a 90 900TC, runs like a dream. lots of new and very well mantained. the battery, alt and starter all tested well but, it does this thing where its as if the battery is dead and it wont start. I hook a jump to it and vroom. If I charge it, vroom. If I had to guess, its some kind of a relay that controls power to the entire system and starter that just need a fully charged system to trigger. Is there any such relay that could be going bad? Its not like i get a slow turn over and she dies, it just a nadda and I put some outside juice to it and vroom. now it will go 2-3 weeks working perfectly and then all of a sudden. nadda. Today for example I drove to the store, it ran perfectly. went in, started right up then all of a sudden (and this is new) the radio went dead and then the car stalled, and I had to jump it, vroom. This has me stumped. Drove it right home, turned it of, started it and vroom. no one is going to tell me the battery charged up in the 20 or so blocks I drove to get it home.
What do you all think?
