@spacejanitor it sounds like your battery cannot handle the load requirements. I would replace the battery first. If that does not work, you will at least have a known-well starting point for further troubleshooting (which would lead me to the motor).

You can always place a large variable resistor across the battery while you connect a multimeter. S\ee if it breaks down with increased load. If you do not have the proper test equipment might be easier to just replace the battery :-)
