Hi Annie, What is the voltage at the battery when this happens? How old is the battery? I find that batteries now seem to be very fragile. Unless it's a "deep cycle" battery, then after getting fully discharged 3-4 times they won't hold a charge any more. If that's happened to your battery then have it tested snd replace if necessary.
