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.

Happy Trails,
