Surprised the heck out of me too!
I would never expect a dodgy battery to create this kind of problem. I normally change it every 2 or 3 years too, but it's been around 6 since this one was put in. My dad has been repairing bikes for 60 years (used to have a bike shop in dundee) and it surprised him too.
