2014 Yamaha 115hp not enough amps to start motor

Hi everyone!
I have a 2014 115hp Yamaha 4 stroke and am having issues starting the motor.
I have a new battery. When I start the engine it just turns and turns.
If I put a starting charger on the battery and turn the key, boom, starts right up.
No starting charger, just turns over, flooding the engine and every once in awhile a nice big backfire.
Any ideas? Thanks!
 
The cable doesn't make a crackle sound and I cleaned all the terminals and posts with a wire brush. All nice and clean but I still get the same result. Turns over but not fast enough like when the battery starter is on. Like not enough amps is going in to turn it fast.
 
Yes, I had the auto center check the battery and it's perfectly fine. No problems with the battery.
What else would cause the low amps not letting the engine get enough spark? I'm stumped!
 
Try a different battery.. out of your car etc just to rule it out. sometimes they test ok even though there is a issue with load.
