RE: [Chrysler300] Battery/Starter-300F

How long does the engine have to sit before it 
will start?  How warm does it have to be before the problem arises?

You should be able to check the ground 
connections by checking the voltage drop at different points during cranking.

Have you considered that the engine might be 
cranking slow due to internal resistance when hot?

In the past I have used a water hose directed on 
the starter motor to promote cooling of the 
starter as a test.  If the engine cranked well 
sooner than normal after cooling the starter 
motor then it points to that component.
