I know you're just trying to be helpful, here are a few observations:

The post you replied to from G Benz was posted last year in January, so well over a year ago. Battery is dead by now if that's what it is.

Bad fuel filters can cause the exact complaint G Benz is talking about, as the fuel pressure regulator is integral to the filter. I can take several cycles before enough pressure is built up to start the truck. A battery won't normally cause a complaint quite like this.

If a battery problem did somehow cause this exact complaint, it would still be better to have the problem check out rather than throwing a part such as a battery at it. "MY truck didn't start right away because the battery was bad, so ALL ML's that start bad MUST need a new battery" is a rather crude diagnostic technique.
