Starting problems
Had the OEM battery replaced less than a year ago and last week the car has been exhibiting problems starting. On Sunday, it totally wouldn't start and had to have it jumped. Got the car home and put a charger on it and disconnected the battery from the car. Hooked everything up and car started fine this morning. A couple hours later tried starting and had difficulty. Got the tender on it now so it will start tomorrow.
I'm guessing a bad battery, but the holiday doesn't help getting this resolved.

I bet you do have a bad battery. My job we install alot of batteries. Some only seem to last a couple years anymore. I changed mine out this summer the original was from 2014. Purchased a agm installed it hit the starter and click click click. Only had 9volts the company said that was 1st one they had seen bad. Needless to say I changed it twice.
