   Mine done the same, even when battery was putting out 12v. If like mine your lights still come on, but the engine makes a weak attempt at turning over/just clicks then it probably is the battery. Mine was fine again after changing it. Probably best to see if you can jump start it off a good battery first to make sure though.

   Check condition on wires from battery to starter, they are prone to corrosion. If so remove wires, clean up (wd40) back on should be on your way!
