As usual, Weld offers excellent advice.

Always try the simple solutions, and use the proper test procedures before you start a difficult job which might not fix the problem.

I believe the ZS250GS employs the same AC-CDI unit as my ZS200GY-2. However, if the battery is going dead, it certainly won't have enough energy to turn the starter motor fast enough. If you don't have a digital multimeter, I suggest you get one, and test the battery voltage.

Although it isn't the greatest, the HF multimeter will diagnose a bad battery. You can frequently get of of these multimeters for free with a coupon.
