When my batteries were getting old (and weak) my truck had some trouble starting but once it got going it was really rough. After both batteries finally died, I got new batteries and things started much better. But this was slow gradual barely noticeable thing and I attributed it to not driving the truck enough.

I don't think this is the OP's problem because the symptoms seem different. But that's a great note for us all to keep in mind. In my gas cars if the batteries were weak, they wouldn't start any part of the car. The diesel batteries need to work even before getting the engine started by getting the glow plugs going.
