Turn key car wont start, cranks 1 or 2 times then dies

2004 TL 5AT with 77k miles on it

was running fine yesterday, but this morning I came downstairs to go to work and the thing would not start up. It cranks once or twice very slowly and then dies. The headlights, radio, dash lights everything works just fine but the car just will not turn over

I assume its either because I have low battery power or the starter is starting to go bad

My first acura so im not really sure where to start or what common problems the 2004's may have

any help is appreciated thanks!

Probably the battery. Especially if it's the original. Does it start with a jump? OH, and welcome to AZ

do you hear a rapid clicking noise when trying to start?
