Hi,

Based on your description, the battery has failed. Although it is charged, it can't handle the load that is placed on it. What I recommend confirming this theory is to charge it and take it to a parts store to have it load tested. Most parts stores will do this free of charge.

You could try this simple load test at home as well.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
