I have only owned one ( a Honda) for 11 and a bit years and have never drained the tank over winter. I cut about 1200 m2 once a week from about march to October.

Can you measure the voltage of the battery, as Bob suggested?
You may find that if you cycle the battery it might recover with a few cycles, but the battery will never be 100%.

Highly likely to be 6 cells
13.6 ish on charge rapidly falling to 12.6 off charge and slowly reducing to 12 as it discharges. Cease discharge at say 11 v then recharge and repeat
