Did you hear the fuel pump run when you tried to start it, and it wouldn't?

I was driving through some scenic roads through the Iowa country side when I stopped at a state park for a break.  After about 15 mnutes I got back on my drifter and it wouldnt start.  It would crank but not fire.  After several attempts I wore the battery down.  After letting it sit for about an hour as I searched for the source of the problem I took one more shot at starting it and it fired up.  As the battery is probably 4 years old I drove into town and replaced it.  Since then, I havent had a starting issue.  Could it be that the old battery wasnt putting out enough amps to put a good spark in the cylinders?  I'm a bit confused by it all.
