Default car is having trouble

this morning after not driving my car for a few days i went to start it and it turned over very slowly and putted a few times then died. pressed the button a second time and it was fine! i have noticed that it does this evertime it sits for more than a day. granted it only does this if it is cold outside which this morning it was 15 degress. could this be caused by my baterey? or is there somthing else wrong?

i dont understand because this is my second s2000 and i dont remember my first one ever doing this! but if you guys say its ok then im probably just being paranoid. thanx for the feed back though! if i were to get a better batery with colder cranking amps, would this fix this?

Go to NAPA and have your battery checked. They'll tell you whether you need a new one. 5 years is a good gauge for the life span of an OEM battery. Anything over that is gravy!

if i park outside during the winter, i get it. if i park in my garage back home during the winter, i dont get it. my guess is that its normal for really cold weather.
