Reported cause
My real problem was the last battery I purchased was a crappy 600cca battery.
Leading evidence: 'last battery i purchased was a crappy 600cca battery' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'last battery i purchased was a crappy 600cca battery' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check battery tomorrow as well' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
An easy way to test is to use a nice battery charger that has a jumpstart/boost function that's at least 20-40A or so, and start the car with that hooked up.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I know it could be any of the issues listed above, but I had a similar issue when i first bought my C2. I started keeping it on a battery tender and have had no issue since.
Mine cranked okay cold and poorly hot. I replaced the cable harness. This helped somewhat. I was close to getting a starter since my battery was only 3 years old. My real problem was the last battery I purchased was a crappy 600cca battery. I got a much stronger one that was like 900cca or something and it cranks like a sonofagun how or cold now.
An easy way to test is to use a nice battery charger that has a jumpstart/boost function that's at least 20-40A or so, and start the car with that hooked up. If the car starts eagerly with the extra amperage, you know the battery could be the cause.
Battery good or no, the starter cable update is a worthwhile mod.
If the starter is spinning as fast but the engine just takes longer to fire up, I don't think it's the starter or battery. I would check for fuel pressure (leak test).
You can also try e-gas re-calibration first since it's free and easy to do by yourself.
If it turns over at a good speed, but just takes a while for it to actually start, try pressing the gas pedal all the way down as you try to start it.
