Default New Battery- Engine still starts hard

So I just replaced my battery with an Optima Yellow top because it was hard starting in the morning sometimes, but ti still seems to hestitate when I start it in the morning. So what could be the problem now?

Is it that I need to drive the new battery around a lot to fully charge it? Or is it something else (alternator?) Any help would be appreciated-thanks

Could be your spark plugs, ignition or starter. Check spark plugs first.

Clean those injector with some fuel cleaner.
That's cheap and worth a try.
Could be water in the tank you can try some additives and see.
