Hi Carol,
You can do a test to see if it's the battery or not.
1. remove the battery.
2. connect the receiver to power.
3. try and acquire satellites.

Have you also re paired and activated the receiver lately.  perhaps
there's something strange going on just with that and it's not a
hardware battery issue.
