Exactly the problem I had earlier this year. After 12 years, the original battery was starting to struggle so I bought a new one.
It was OK for a couple of months then would turn over the engine maybe a couple of times, but not enough to start it. Charging
the battery made no difference. I took it back to the shop and they checked it for the starting ampage, which I guess is the CCA
mentioned above. Should have been about 200 but was only showing 17, so was exchanged for a new one and has been fine since.
