Default weak cranking camry le

my 02 camry le feels a little weak when cranking when i bought it the battery was dead and when i tried to turn it on i heard the clicking. after that i took it to a mechanic who charged th battery but it still feels weak so my questionis can this just mean i need a new battery or anything besides the battery.

It's probably the battery. A load test on the battery will confirm, but given the condition you bought it in a new battery is not much of a cost fix. If it happens more when the car is hot it could be starter. Resistance goes up with heat so a weak battery will not be able to push as well and a starter will not turn as well.
