it sounds like the battery is the culprit! It may have trouble
holding a charge. What voltage does it maintain when it's off? 
I'm going to guess that its much less than 12v. You sure it was 
checked properly? Either way, an old battery can always crap
out any time and not maintain full charge in my experience.
