It certainly doesn't sound like the battery.
Check things like the earth connector for the engine as well as those from the starter solenoid.
If you have a multimeter, measure the voltage between the terminal on the starter and the body of it when thumbing the button. If you only get a few volts, then the problem is in the supply connection, if you get full battery voltage the fault is internal to the starter motor itself... probably brushes or dirt on the commutator.
