Default Stuttering/Slow during startup

Hey guys, I'll make it really short, whenever I start up my 06' it stutters or almost hesistates to fire up. What could cause this?
I'm thinking the battery?
Maybe the oil? I just changed it and put Mobil 1 Syn 10-w30.
The car has around 38k miles on the odo.

If the battery is weak, the engine will be sluggish to turn over.

I've been having the same problem! Been having very weak start ups. I took my car to Honda dealership, they didn't find "anything wrong". I also took it to pep boys, thats when they said it was the battery and it needs to be replaced soon? This concerns me because my s2000 is a 09 with only 15k miles.. What are some possible factors?
