You probably should do both.

First, remove the battery and charge it good.........like 10 hours with a 4 amp or less charger. While it is out, check and clean the cable ends that connect to the battery. Check and tighten/clean (if needed) the OTHER end of those same cables.

At that point, I'm guessing it will start again once or twice and then fail again......at which point, you need a new battery.......which needs to be fully charged before being installed.

If it fails again in a few days, you need to get it to a shop to check the charging circuit.

P.S. Until you get it fixed, the start and end point of your rides should be "home", without shutting it off in between. Don't ask how I know that!
