No-starts, or no-cranks? DID battery run down?

If these were the kind of no-starts that were, car cranks slow, very slow, then not at all, and engine never got turning fast enuf to start, then keep at your line of thinking, or at my second suggestion below.
But could it have been another reason in the first place for the no-start, and car cranked fine, fast enough, but you kept at it until it ran down? Then think other possible no-start causes too.
Second suggestion: The age you give, 34 months, might be IT for some grades of battery, say 36 months ones. Or yours could still be in its youth for one rated say 60 or 72 months.
So, besides possibly brushes, you oughta consider maybe just a new battery, that takes and holds a charge longer and deeper than yours, if yours is a low-life-rated battery.
