The battery is dying and needs replacement.
You didn't say what type of battery it has so a specific reply isn't possible.
I assume it has a 12 volt 7 amp hour lead acid, or sealed lead acid battery.
Hobby shops, large camping suppliers and motor cycle shops sell them.
The sealed ones, or gel type are better, as they can not leak acid out and damage their surroundings.

Those batteries don't like to be deep discharged, and also dislike being left discharged.
So significantly extended life can be got if you charge it after use so as to store it full rather than in an empty state.
