Is there a question herein?

Something to think about from an old power plant operator. You made mention of the starter turning slowly and that made my ears/eyes perk up. All motors, or starters in this case, draw more amps, in-rush current, at start up or when the motor is turning slower than designed RPM. That is why most all modern motors have overload protection. It can be as simple as a reset button right on the motor. As the motor spins up to designed speed the magnetic field that is created pushes back, Counter EMF, at the in-rush current and the current draw from the battery is reduced. The wire windings in all motors are designed to handle the current flow when operating at designed RPM. Motor windings are NOT designed to handle, for extended periods of time, the increased current flow caused by a stalled or slow turning motor. If the increased current flow lasts too long you will damage the windings of the motor. Not saying that is what happened but anytime a motor seems to be running slow or, stalled, stop what your are doing and investigate or the motor may be ruined.
