Probably a smaller starting battery than most car batteries,
but the function is the same. High amp, short time use. To
get the motor started, and then the alternator recharges the
battery.

Likely the same result -- never got a chance to recharge.

Try charging the battery. Just like with a car battery, that
extended on-
off-on-off cycle can drain the battery very quickly.

Have you used a multimeter to check the battery's voltage
across the
battery terminals?
