99 Navi - Slow Crank

My 99 is slow to crank initially, but after a couple of spins it speeds right up and the motor starts.

Battery is new - any ideas?

Brushes in the starter or cable contacts may be corroded, check the ground to block and the selnoid on the firewall.

I just had the same problem on my 99 Navigator and it was the battery cables, you need to clean them really good with a battery terminal cleaning brush, also wire brush the battery post as well. They make a spray that you put on the battery terminals so that they don't corrode, the name of it slips me so check your local auto parts store.
