Bingo. The battery is fine a 9.6v battery should be able to crank up that spring. Now whether it will last long with that 1500 mah is another thing.

Things to check.
1.) is the gearbox properly shimmed with gears rotating freely without the load/spring?
2.) is the battery really 9.6v? Check with a multi meter.
3.) is that type of motor and pinion gear correct for the AEG that you have?

I would urge you to check the motor height first though since it sounds like the motor is too high up causing binding.
