[QUOTE="fjrfanca, post: 1457104, member: 95419"] 08 Gen II was getting a bit hard to start, with gradually slower cranking a few years ago. I replaced a battery with a fresh lightweight li type, and it surprised me how fast the starter cranked. Fired up FAST. So now a few years later, seems like it cranks slower again, same basic symptoms. Decided to replace battery, even tho superficial testing showed good voltage. I bought the same model Li battery, expecting similar results, and it SLIGHTLY improved things. It does start, but it feels like the draw on the battery causes the starter to slow down. I carefully charged the new battery per instructions first. It has me thinking of other things, such as issues with wiring, the starter itself, etc. Any ideas where to check / look next? Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
