Mitsubishi Magna start up problem

My 2005 Mitsubishi Magna can be very difficult to start first thing. The starter motor will generally only turn over for about three seconds before cutting out, but will allow repeated efforts to start. Any ideas?

The battery probably needs replacing. It sounds like it’s down on power and the cold mornings have found it out.
