I had this happen a few times. I was told duff battery, bad connection. I simply couldn't believe that i had found the worlds supply of duff Duracell's so i tried Noalox anti oxidant and conductive grease on the connectors but in the end I gave up and never got to the bottom of it.

I had hoped the new hand sets would be immune. I had the nickle ones and then the anodized aluminum.
