Well since bat checks OK, alternator isn't the problem. Since it starts OK sometimes, fuses aren't the problem either.

When you say struggles, or 2 seconds, do you mean the starter is turning motor over but engine is slow to fire up? Or is it a delay to starter engaging, at which time engine fires up?

If the latter the solenoid/starter is likely culprit.
