starter on the way out?

ok, so i only noticed it since its been cold...

a few times only in the morning after the car has been sitting for like 12-16+ hrs overnight in the cold when i go to start it... i wait for the fuel pump to prime and then turn the key... and it goes to start as in turn over and it just stops like the battery is dead or something... then i try it again and it starts up but with a half a cycle... kinda picks up where it left of and continues...

i kept thinking its my battery cause its only a yr old and has died on me so many times and whenever i go back to speedy they test it and say its fine...

Test the battery yourself. Put an analog volt meter to it and have someone crank it for you.

Dying batteries will drop a lot of voltage under load.
