Did you pass by your local crappy tire for a battery check?

No, but it does pretty much the same thing at each start. Acts more like there's a bug in the system than sufficient power. The battery is going on 3 years though. I'll have it checked.

Another question, what kind of oil are you running?
Lower-viscosity grades, make it easier for your engine to start from cold because they present less resistance to moving parts and hence take less power from your battery.
