my 04 vauxhall vectra has trouble starting on damp days, after connecting a battery charger she starts, BUT, the battery charger shows it is fully charged to start with! have tried 2 chargers both do the same. all i get from car before this is a click. Had battery and alternator checked at garage and both in good condition. what is my next move?

Clean and retighten battery terminals and ground circuit connections.

If it does not work, check the starter. Try giving it a few knocks to see if it works.
