As LD states, the battery is suffering from polarization of the plates when gas bubbles form on them and prevent the acid contacting the plates. This problem is more noticeable with old batteries that are nearing the end of their service life, or batteries that are overloaded. Get a discharge test on the battery and check it's condition.
