Sounds more like a mechanical issue more than electric power issue.

Have you ever lubricate the slide? Just the word 'slide' indicates the it requires lubrication...regularly....and
Battery (s) are a year old.. You sure? A wet charged battery begins it's life when wet charged. You have no idea (obviously) how old they actually are. Could have been sitting on the shelf for some time.
Finally, did you maintain them properly during you maintain them properly during your last off season?
I'm guessing not unless you state otherwise.
If the slide extends or retracts crooked, that tells me you have a lubrication issue. dry sliding surfaces cause the motor(s) to draw an excessive amount of current trying to overcome you lack of lubrication.
