get a battery tester and check the voltage on it, it could be your battery charger its better to use a trickle charger on something like that

you should charge you battery on a two amp trickle charge. charging it at a higher amp will actually ruin the battery. usually it take me about 6 to 8 hours to charge a battery that is brand new.
