I will check the battery charge in the morning.
Yes, change the battery. I had an Optima battery that seemed like it was OK, but sometimes after driving the car it would not crank over. I thought for sure it was something with the grounds, ignition switch, etc. but after swapping the battery never had an issue again.

I don’t think that batter quality is what it used to be…..
