I have a hunch that the alternator wasn't charging the battery well enough, and that may be the root of the problem. In which case my battery may now be dying as well.
Just a note on the new battery . Do not get just a deep cycle battery . Either get a dual purpose or a starting marine battery . The difference is the deep cycle battery is made for long low amp draws . The starting battery is made for high quick amp draws like starting . The dual purpose is kinda the best for both worlds and would be fine . They design the plates in the battery different for the two .
