I bring this up in every case of these mystery battery issues.
About 10-15% of the time it's a starter motor.
I regularly see cases where it seems like a weak battery; battery gets replaced then two months later the symptoms come back because it was the starter. Maybe just 1 time out of 8 but it's worth checking the starter current draw before replacing a battery.
