I am not professing to buy a new battery or that the battery is the problem. My point is only that the battery should be eliminated as a possibility by troubleshooting it first. I would have the same point of view if the battery was purchased 3 months before the problem started. IMO that is the logical procedure to follow.

If you believe the starter should be checked first, that's fine. Are you saying that when you have an electrical issue such as this that you wouldn't troubleshoot the battery first?
