THE ACFT WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY & COLLIDED WITH A DITCH. THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE FLAPS WOULD NOT FULLY EXTEND DUE TO A BATTERY PROBLEM. WITNESSES REPORTED THE FLAPS WERE IN THE 10 TO 15 DEG RANGE. REPORTEDLY, THE FLAPS OPERATED NORMALLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT WHEN NO AIR LOADS WERE PRESENT. THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE WINDS WERE VARIABLE UP TO 5 KTS. THE 1455 EDT WIND AT THE SARASOTA/BRADENTON ARPT WAS FROM 190 DEG AT 10 KTS.
