Default 2016 Honda Civic is difficult to turn over. Battery dying??

I was running some errands today it took a bit longer for the car to turn over, then stopped and tried to start again this time it took even longer. The third time I stopped I got back in and it didn't start at all, all the cabin lights work the radio and a/c both turn on. After about 10 minutes I got the car to finally turn over. On the dashboard, both vsa lights turned on and tire pressure light as well. After about a minute or so of driving they turned off. I recently got 2 new tires from discount tire, and an recommended package oil change right from the Honda dealership.

This was taken after I got it to start.

Have you replaced the 12v battery ever? 2016 would make the battery 5 years old. That would be about the expiration date.

Those batteries do only about 400CCAs. With the number of individual CAN-BUS modules and devices in both the cabin & engine bay, they are susceptible to power loss over time. It looks like in this case, it's time to change the battery if it is indeed the original one as tech8 stated.
