Default Starter or battery problem? Or?

2003 Grand Caravan. 3.3L. Lately, more so in the morning, the van turns over slowly. It starts, but it seems the starter itself seems slow and laboured. I checked battery voltage - was just running for a few minutes prior and it was 12.6. No load test done and nothing else checked.

Could it be the battery? Starter maybe? Where to start? It started this about 1-2 weeks ago without warning.

Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right direction.

Welcome to DF
I would always start with battery,before thinking about the starter. It maybe time for a new battery.

I'm hoping that's it. Easier to get at...

Any inherent known problems with either?
