Default Car was kind of cranky this morning. Didn't want to be stirred, but it started on the first try

The cranking was a slower than I recall it being when its cold out (around 25 F) and I have brand new (not even a week old) oil in though its 10w-30. Right now the lowest temp we get down to is 18 F and I plan on running the oil only till the end of the month before I flush it out one more time and replace it with 0W-30.

Sooo, with that being said I'm thinking my battery is merrting replacement. I'm feeling the want for a red top unless someone wants to tell me otherwise. I have a Sears battery in right now and its gotta be at least 3-4 years old, so that's why I'm thinking the battery is my problem.
