2016 Spark H.O. Sputtering?

Hi, I’ve had my spark for a few years now. Had it winterized and it was for a year I didn’t use it. It’s only got 20 hours on it. I took it out the first time last week and at times had little to no acceleration. If I killed it and turned back on it would be fine. My mistake I hadn’t charged the battery before taking it out. Anyways I’d started it up in the driveway with the hose attached and it started right up. I had a check engine light and limp home was displayed a few times.. I shut it off and turned it back on and was able to resume back to my docking spot. However eventually I killed it waiting to dock and the display faded out and it wouldn’t start back up. Would the check engine light have anything to do with a weak battery? Could that be my issue with the weak response? Maybe I should try some fuel stabilizer. The tank was just about empty I had a brand new full tank in it. Also is it best to run high octane? I’ve been running regular because I was told I could do so... any opinions on what could the issue with the sputtering? Thank you.
 
Yes. Weak battery can cause those symptoms. Replace the battery and problem should be solved....couldn’t hurt to get rid of the old fuel as well.....
