Its unlikely to be the starter if it works OK if you don't leave it that long. One test is to have the headlights on when trying to start it after the 12 hours or so. If the starter is faulty the lights will stay bright, if its the battery that has 'lost' its charge they will dim whenever the starter is turning.
