2001, 4.0, AW4, NP231, 183,XXX miles. The last couple days the temp outside has been well below freezing and it has been slow to start. It normally fires on the first crank and if it sits for 4 hours or more it cranks slower when starting. The battery is 2.5 years old and so are the cables. The connections are all good. Right after I shut it off after driving for 20 minutes, the battery showed 12.65 volts. After sitting for 4.5 hours it showed 12.19. While starting it dropped to 9.11 volts and then jumped right to 14.4 and stayed there while running. Is that voltage drop normal or do I need a new battery?
