George,

Ik think your dynamo is defect so your motor can't work. Let's check your 
dynamo. It's also the reason why your battery fails to charge. It don't matter 
if your motor is hot or not. I can be your dynamo gives a to low voltage so in 
the beginning it charging a little but when driving your light makes your 
battery fully empty. I'm almost sure it's your dynamo.

Greeting Hans Mooyman.
