Thanks guys. Yes as you all said, it has turned out to be the battery.
I am not good on electrical stuff so I got the indy to do the tests you mentioned. It WAS the battery. (It was an Interstate and I got a partially warranted swap. Not a bad deal.)
On my previous 9-5 I had replaced the alternator myself and it was a several hours DIY so I am glad for this.
Also I did not know how long it would take to get the cable and replace it myself. I am in SOCAL and the cable is on east coast.
Anyway the lesson here for me, apart from the fact that the cable takes time to actually die and shows symptoms along the way, is how tricky the battery can be.
From what was happening, I would have bet money it was more than the battery. Anyway, I have a long trip so it is good to get it all worked out.
Thank you ALL.
