Rough start

I have a 2008.5 journey coupe. It has been starting a bit rough, my guess is a weak battery. Does anyone else have a weak battery after less than 4 yrs old g?

i Get multiple complaints about dead battery and slow starting on these cars, if it is slow cranking then the batt is almost for sure going bad
but make sure its not the other way around, it cranks fine but will not start, or when it does runs rough or dies out, seen tb stick, injector leakdown after running and going to restart, multiple reasons
take veh and get charging system test, as long as the veh is under warry, take it to the dealer, the battery is pro rated from the factory, hope this helps

Thanks for the tips. Good idea, might as well take advantage of warranty while I still have it.
