I don't think it's in the terminals (exterior) / connections, I get same results testing to the terminals or to the connectors.
When we jumped it we hooked to the battery connectors (i.e. same as hooking to the battery exterior terminals).
Sorry we are crossing msgs.
I agree cables could be bad but like Ron said if so then jumping wouldn't have helped. Though I'm tempted to put a new battery in it and see if it goes away, they aren't that expensive and the one in there is probably old as rocks.
Didn't do voltage drop with headlights on because as I said it cranked to no cranking in 8-10 seconds.
