Two things: check, clean and/or replace dirty/loose/corroded battery cables. DON'T JUST LOOK AT THEM AND THINK THEY LOOK OK ;remove them and if suspect, put new ones on; sandpaper the areas that they attach to. Next, many cars have fusible links which deliver power to the starter. A fusible link is a special wire that is designed to blow out in the event of a battery short or if someone puts the cables on backwards. They are generally marked 'fuse link' . NINE times out of TEN problems like yours are due to poor battery cables/connections/grounds.

Best Battery for 1997 buick LeSabre?
A cheap battery will work good with the vehicle being stock. No more is really needed for this model. If you want a good battery for it however, an Optima red top will be the best you can get for the need. The Optima yellow top is a good option for an upgraded stereo or subs installed.

Have you recently installed a radio? I had one "professionally installed" and found out after two batteries they wired it wrong. The amp was constantly drawing power off the battery because of the wiring of the new radio. Also, if you have an automatic car starter (remote start), make sure the starting switch path is true, not open.
