So I figured my battery was going out. Every day it takes longer and longer to start my 1997 Altima. The battery is under warranty. So I call up the shop, tell them about the problem and bring it in. They run a check over the battery and electrical systems and find it checks out fine. Hmm... what next?

The starter takes longer and longer each morning to start the car. If I turn off the electrical (radio and unplug my ipod adapter from the lighter) it starts up quicker. Battery right? The shop told me no. So what do you think?

Possible ignition problem?

How much of a time difference are you talking about concerning startup times with accessories and without?
