Starter or Battery

Recently when I start the car, the car seems to struggle abit turning on, almost as if there is no charge left in the battery. How do I determine what the problem is, the battery looks to be in good condition it is a motomaster 74 green sticker one. and i think was changed by the last owner not too long ago.

How are the connections at the battery? what about at the starter and the starter ground?? Maybe they are corroded.

By briniging it to a mechanic for an AVR test. You need special testing equipment. Could be a drain, corroded connectors, weak battery, weak ground, etc

start by checking the chassis ground connection and battery connections.
most tests need tobe done by a qualified person.

haven't heard much good about that brand of battery.... you may just need a battery

Take it to a mechanic, could be the alternator not charging the battery properly, leaving you to think it's the starter or battery.

Use a multimetre to check grounding, voltage and amps if you don't want to try a mechanic yet.
