If the battery is original it has likely lost it's ability to hold a charge. It would be 7 years old now and that is a long time for a small battery to provide usable power. If it were me I would replace the battery to make sure I have a reliable power source.
If the battery isn't the actual problem you have not really wasted any $. It is likely on it's last legs anyway.
Get a meter if you don't have one. Also get a Battery Tender to extend the life of the battery.
