1. is this an OE battery on your '07 max? if so you probably need a new battery. it may show 100% charged but with capacity at 30-40% remaining, it may crank well but cannot turn the engine. if you're situated in freezing temp. makes it even tough for starter batteries.
2. why a need for new cable terminals. was old ones corroded and lots of sulfation at the battery post, you know that crystalize gunk that piles up at the battery post. check cables (be sure strands are not broken)and connections specially at the frame and engine.
3. did auto zone tell you the voltage reading. if not, do your own with a volt meter. if it shows under 12v, its time to replace.
