I have this same issue
Firstly my battery seems fine but the garage say its not putting out the required amount of amps to fire up , ie demand is to much for the battery
so a new battery later and better but still iffy. however the battery we got doesn't have enough amps to power up all the systems and requires a more powerful battery 75 not 60, consequently what happens is the ecu senses the power drop and puts us into limp mode, turn off engine and wait 10 mi9ns and it resets, for a while anyways, New battery ordered
Maybe you should look at yours.

Run a single jump lead from the black earth terminal of the battery to a clean steel part of the engine ( large bolt) and then try it.
If no improvement , run the lead from the earth on the battery to a good clean steel point on the battery.
If either provide an improvement then you have a bad earth
