Default Truck clicks as if battery is dead a couple times then strts

Recently my 01 Dodge Ram 2500 started dhaving a problem where it will click when I try turn it over as if the battery’s were dead then after a few clicks it’ll start up. Sometimes I could drive it all day then turn it off in tims drive thru and then it won’t start til I try turn it over a couple times. It usually doesn’t do this if it’s plugged in. It was also fine for the first couple months of winter

Is the click from the starter relay, or the solenoid on the starter itself?

In the PDC, right behind the battery. You would likely have to be listening closely to hear it.
