If that is the original battery replace it. And be thankful it lasted so long. If not check the water level in the battery and fill with distilled water as needed. Then full charge-trickle charge, then load test.

After a longer charge and some road time everything should return to normal if the battery was seriously run down. Or time for battery replacement.

I keep my Box on a battery maintainer because I never know how long it will be between starts/runs.
