Default Intermittent issue with electrics

Hey guys, so I'm having an intermittent issue with the electrics in my car. Occasionally, the interior lights and instrument panel will pulse but it usually goes away after a while. However, today, the same thing happened and all the electrics in the car seemed to die while driving for about a seconds then come back.

A couple hours later, I tried to start the car but had absolutely no power at all. I poked around a bit in the engine bay and checked the battery (it was fine, used a multimeter to read the charge). About 10 minutes or so later, it started up fine and drove fine.

Any ideas what it could be?
