Default Slow To Start

Hello all,
I am new to this forum and can't wait to get started. I have an 06' accord and it has been slow to start like the battery is dead. I noticed it was a lot worse when it was real cold the other day. It sounds like it is having a hard time starting and the colder it is, the slower it sounds. Is this my battery that is about to die or something else?

Thanks in advance

It could be the battery, the battery cables, or the starter.

I would check that all ends of both battery cables have no corrosion and are tightened securely.

You can stop by an autoparts store and have them test the battery.

Thanks I will stop by there soon. I checked and there is no forrosion and the cables are nice and tight. You answered my question though, I was just wondering if it could be the starter or anything other than the battery. I know batteries have trouble in the cold and I can defenitley tell that when it is cold the car barley turns over. The battery is a little over three years old so I will run by an autoparts store and have them test it.
