Mine weighs 5.3kg, have you weighed yours? what make etc is it? only way lighter I think would be a lithuim ion battery to take it under 2kg.

Its two options that i think is responsible for your problems, either alternator is on the way out or you have a bad earth which causes all sorts of starting issues.

Havent any of your friends got a voltmeter they can borrow you?
