That's pretty much what you'd expect from a "fairly shagged" battery with a single "very shagged" cell (the most common failure mode for the OEM fit gel battery :rollin ).
They end up as 10 volt batteries and they will just about start a bike on a nice warm day - otherwise you get the 'machine-gun' noise from under the seat and you're stuck.
I've killed 2 batteries that way in 12 years. :o
