It sounds like a dirty contact problem.
Deoxit is almost always necessary pretty quickly on rechargeables
to keep them charging in the charger in any case; for some reason
the contacts oxidize or something.

I find the brush-on vial most handy for batteries but if you wanted
to get into a switch or something then perhaps the spray would work
better. The vial lasts forever.
Also solves the intermittent audio cable connection problem.
So if that's not your problem you can probably find some other use
for the vial, is what I'm saying.
