Default battery?

when i go to use my electric start it will click then just wind up but it wont ever start.. i dont think its my starter going bad becasue if i charge the battery i have like 1 min to start it before it goes dead, and while its running i can use headlight and it runs great, so i was wondering if its my battery not holding charge?

When mine did that i filled each of the battery cells with distilled water to the fill line. After that i had no problems.

Sounds like a dead cell in the battery. If you have a battery charger then charge it up; then take it to the nearest autozone or pepboys and have them test it for ya for free. They will tell you if its bad.
