1) The battery does not discharge daily, but trickle charging it does make the starts faster. Otherwise the key has to crank hard sometimes to start. Once while cranking, while I was outside, the battery died and I had to Uber back. After that I do a daily trickle charge at night.

2) Could be an old starter too, but I don't want to change it unnecessarily as it is a lot of work for me.

3) Battery is in good shape. Took it to an auto-store to get it checked out a few months ago.

I will try to do the load test and see with a multimeter later today.
