Basically, ...

The whole Country was Heat-waved, last week.

Check your Battery's Fluid Level.
Top-up the Battery with Distilled Water to the:

Max Fill Line on Translucent Battery's

Above the Plates leaving an Air-Gap below the Filler Holes on Black Body Batteries.

Distilled Water is LABELED ... "Distilled"
Pure or Filtered is not Distilled.

I have to check mine every week unfortunately Sad It gets burned off pretty good with charging (LED'S don't suck the juice normal lights would).

Could be the problem I'm having. This battery has been sitting for a year and gawd knows how old it is.
