Help With My Lamp !

[fox assasin 16]

Hi lads, ive had my battery for my lamp for two years now , its a 7 ah battery. Since about 3/4 weeks ago my battery has been running out very quick. I would charge the battery for the eight hours as normal and then take it out. I went lamping last night and i walked outside my front drive i shined down the road about 300 yards away and i could see to the corner of the road perfectly. So i walked to the corner of the road about 300 yards away with my lamp FULLY charged. So i got to the corner of the road and shined the first field, there was nothing there. So i got over the gate and walked to the second field about 2 minutes away. I shined the field and there was nothing there, so on to the next field and i shined and my the beam of the lamp was just about dead ! . Is this loose wiring in the battery or do i need to get a new battery ?

Also i was charging my battery the other day and i put the charger into the socket and as soon as i put it in the charger said it was fully charged wich it wasnt , so i shuck the battery and the charger went on as normal. So is it a wiring problem or do i need a new battery ?

 

Cheers atb
