Battery is 60 months old? and needs to changed. Check voltage 12.6 and have it load tested, possibly ground connection is corroded, loose, check the terminals and #2 gauge wires, alternator output less than 13.4-14.8 volts with engine running, use multimeter for testing. Inspect for worn idler pulleys, tensioner and serpentine belt. IF this doesn't eliminate the issue, have a voltage drop test done on the starter circuit. Regards

Sounds like the serpentine Belt broke or one of the pulley bearings went out. Does it overheat?
