Ok:
Removed negative battery cable- moved cables around- reconnected- Car started. Drove to Volvo repair shop. Parked car at repair shop tried to restart- had no crank situation.

Volvo shop-determined that battery cable when fully tightened was not not tight. At least, not tight enough for a proper current draw for the starter to start.

Volvo shop-Replaced the lead connector to the negative ground with new one (different syle) and crimped to cable. Checked ground connection to car body $120.00

So far, So good.

Hope this helps someone with similar no crank-intermittent problems-

After reading your original post, 850 NO CRANK, I have an idea what's going on.

My '95 was doing the same thing. It would start fine one time, then nothing the next. Battery cables/terminals looked fine, but that had to be it. I cleaned the battery terminals and the chassis ground connection (again, no signs of corrosion). That was probably a year ago. No problems since.
