Vehicle started struggling to start yesterday. Uh oh, probably new battery time

Do some quick math...car is 6 yrs old this past summer...yep thats the end of the 2nd 36 mo battery.

Brought a couple tools with me to work today, plan was to run to Costco, buy a battery, and then swap it out back at my office parking lot

Drove to Costco, bought the battery, got out to my car and it wouldn't start.

Had to swap it out in the Costco parking lot.

Went exactly 1 start too far to make it back to my office and/or home, but at least I already had the new battery and tools with me.
