Sounds like your battery is dying.   Buy a new one.

BTW, You might want to invest in a Battery Tender for your down times.
Get a good one also.

Battery Tender Jr. is the best bang for your buck.  I've been using those with PC680s and they work well and last. I have several of them. My oldest one is eight years old and still works great.

Shop around on the Internet for a PC680.  Prices vary widely.
