This seems like a loose connection issue as opposed to a ground issue.

What do you mean by "bad electrical sounds at the battery"? If you hear
something or heard something near the battery my guess would be a bad
connection around the battery.

You mentioned that you had some electrical work done? Any splices near the
battery?

Thanks,

Yes, I lowered the fuse block and pulled all connections off, and put
them back on. They seem mosly clean. A little oxidation on one or two,
which I pulled on/off several times.
