I "recondition" the battery every 6 - 9 months by adding distilled water and trickle charging at a constant 28.4 Volts. For the first 2 - 3 months after that, the gear breaker never pops. It also never pops if the aircraft is used regularly, even if reconditioning hasn't been done for a while. And it never pops at the end of a flight. In short, it pops only on retraction on the first flight after the aircraft has been unused for weeks and if the battery has not had reconditioning for a while. So, yes, I think it's the battery.
