Help

I have a 1996 f150 5.0 2wd The truck acts like the battery is dead barely turing over the starter even though the battery is fully charged. any suggestions of what it could be.

How old is the battery? Could be bad cable connections and it could be a badly stratified battery that needs a rebalancing, remixing of the acid that becomes layered over time if it's old.
