Can a bad house battery cause a generator to stall?

Hi, Just wondered about this. Generator is slow starting, seems to run fine for a half hour, then stalls out... Is the first thing to do in troubleshooting, buy a new battery? After running ...

I will check the water level now.

Reason why I asked this, last time we replaced the battery, it was marginal but when we took it in, the people at nationwide battery said one of the cells had a short in it - a short in the old battery that is, not this one. So I was thinking something like a short within the batt would cause it.
