Low battery voltage. Get it tested.

Actually charging the battery overnite,then take the starter off and get it bench tested at auto zone or advance auto for free.Sounds like either can cause this,I would lean towards the starter if the battery once charged is solid,and try starting if it drags,hesistates to start the starter prolly is the issue.Bench testing is pretty good but,does not always show failure(if there is a dead spot) on the starters solenoid.
