Check your battery with a good digital voltmeter in the morning before starting. Fully charged, it should read 12.6 - 12.7 Volts. If it is reading around 11.9 - 12.1 Volts, it is almost fully discharged.

Now, if it reads fully charged, and then dies after 5 cranks, I would suspect shorted windings in your starter.
