I would suggest that the pressure switch may need adjusting,Taking into account you have a battery fitted and is working well and is fully charged this is how you adjust it.Its usually found below the bunk on the side the pump is on.Check your battery is not needing charged first as this can cause your symptoms.

PRESSURE SWITCH SETTING
1. Ensure the system, including the heater is full
of water and all taps are closed. Refer to your
user manual. Be sure to set the switch at low
battery condition.
2. If present, remove the pressure switch
locknut in an anti- clockwise direction, then
tighten the adjusting screw clockwise until the
pump comes on.
3. Open any tap until you have a smooth flow of
water, then close the tap. You should hear the
pump running and the pump running light if
fitted will be on.
4. Return to the pressure switch and turn the
screw slowly anti-clockwise until the pump has
stopped. Turn the screw a further half turn (180
degrees) anti-clockwise.
5. Check for correct operation by opening and
closing all taps individually. The pump should
turn on when the cold tap is opened and switch
off immediately when the cold tap is closed.
NB At low flows there may be some pulsation.
6. The hot side may take about 10 seconds to
react (both on and off) due to cushioning from
the water heater.
7. Carefully replace the locknut until it is tight
keeping the adjustment screw in position.
