Make sure your crankcase vent tube is plugged into the intake hose. If it comes unplugged, it sucks in too much air and runs lean.

It's possible that it's an electrical issue and some of the wires got damaged or shorted out, which could cause the battery to die. Open the hood and look around at the wires in the engine bay to see if any of them are chewed up or exposed.
