welcome to the forum.

I would replace the battery cables. Battery cables are like a light bulb. Over time they loose amperes. Costs about $20 for a new set, positive and negative cables. Better starting power. Starter lasts longer. I have a rule of thumb here at home. If the battery needs to be changed. So does the cables. So figure every 3 years I put a new set of cables on.
