2017 Tacoma takes extra cranks to start up

[eagleguy]

My 2017 Tacoma V6 used to start up on the first or second crank not so anymore. Does anyone else notice extra cranks to turn over? It only has 200 miles.

I’ve noticed a little lag in the cold (like below 0) but nothing really abnormal. Is it really cold where you are?

I am in Florida so cold is not an issue. Just strange how the cranks to start have changed.

Just tested with the specific liquid battery tester and I am only floating one-two balls out of four in each cell.

Have your dealer replace the battery. Should still be under warranty.
My 2017 starts fine. Push the button and it fires up right away.

Absolutely. Have them replace it. That’s rare for a battery to be out that quick. It happens though.
