Hi,

It could be a failing battery.

Even though it may show that it is "fully charged" this may not be what it was when it was new. It could also have developed a problem where it self discharges (discharges internally) more than it should. All batteries do this but usually it is negligible but not so in an aging (or deteriorating) battery. Rechargeable batteries also have a lifespan ;-)

Given the cost of a new battery it may be worth replacing it first and check if that resolves the problem, rather than trying to find another cause that may not be there.

Search online for SLB-10A battery to find suppliers that suit you best.
