You definitely have an intermittent short. Having the batteries loose isn't good. My original straps (and batteries) are still good after 3 years and 25K. The real question is, are the connections tight?
Check the breaker that the batteries connect to, just to the rear of the batteries. A loose connection there will cause the radio to cut out.
