Have you done any electrical work on the car recently? It does sound as though you might have a wiring problem that's draining the power from where it's really needed.

The obvious things to check are that the main battery terminals are bolted on securely, whether any water's got into the ECU, fuse-box, or relay clusters, or any damaged wiring generally. If any of the relays that you say were hot aren't vital to the starting of the engine, try running the car with them completely disconnected and see if it's smoother. Label them up first obviously so you can put them back afterwards.
