Greetings all.

I have a 2008 Mazda 3 sedan.

This morning I had an issue starting my car. I'm still running on stock car battery and at 90K mileage.

I am attaching a youtube link of what happens when I start it:

Does it look like it's time for a new battery?

P.S.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I'd be doing a battery change for sure. Your symptoms are indicative of the battery voltage dropping out under load.
