999 \"S\" battery/starting problems

Help !!!. Have recently been having starting problems, with the S, over the last last ten days......seems as the weather has dropped a few degree's. The problem, is starting the motor, after being in the garage for more than 24 hours, the battery has not got enough ummmph to turn the motor over fast enough, to fire it up. The motor spins slowly, fires once, the starter motor idler gear spins. If repeated, the exact same happens. If i charge the battery with the Optimate, it shows "Charge" and then Barrery maintain "good" after several hours of charging. The motor with then fire OK after being charged. The charge rate on the display is 14.1v. But even after a several hours of riding/charging, 24 hours later, the battery is back to its "lacking power" to start the motor. The bike is fitted with a Datatool system 3......but the alarm should only take a minimal amount of current, especially only after 24 hours. Any thoughts/experience ??
