Default 1st.post-2006 Accord

I'm a new member,and I need some help.My 2006,4 cyl.,accord has for the past month,failed to start about once a week.At first i thought it might be my battery,because it kind of dragged at first and stop cranking completely and it would do that a couple of times,but it eventually start just fine.I have a brand new battery i bought a week ago,and it did it again 3 days and again today,it always starts,but it has me worried it may leave stranded one of this times.Any suggestions. Automatic,with 120,000,miles.Good car haven't had any problems.

With a new battery, that makes me suspect battery cable connections.

Check the OTHER ends of both battery cables. Loose/dirty/corroded?
(Disconnect negative from battery post in case you get a wrench across the (+) & ground.)

I've seen corroded connections at the cable end-lugs, where they are crimped onto the cable itself.

No promises, just a couple things you can check to rule them out.

Thanks JimBlake.Cables are good tight ,clean and free of corrosion. I was hoping someone could guide me to a relay or something.Because if it's my starter, starting to go,I've read in here that it's a bear to replace.Sorry i took so long to respond i was away from my computer.
