Replace the starter, and see if it still has the problem. I think the problem would go away.

A starter with bad bearings. (that's what you said right? ) would cause a lot of draw on your battery.

If the problem persists have the battery tested, and replaced if necessary.

Also check your battery cables. If they look brittle, cracked or corroded, replace them.

Hope this helps.
