Agreed, don't forget to tell us the 'procedure' as well - or is that it?
Just wait for the heaters to warm up and it starts the 'procedure' by
itself?

If this problem is as common as it sounds, I wonder if they have a
relatively high current drain from the battery that it discharges itself
in an unhealthily short time? Or is it just that the battery has done so
many years that it has done its stuff?

I would be tempted to put a two pin header in there so I could use an Li
battery for a PC, but I guess there is circuitry there that will attempt
to charge it ...
