M401 Battery Quit Charging

[Jaynik]

Well! 2 months in and my m401 battery has quit charging. Charger just stays green and battery never blinks. Is there a quick fix for this?

It looks like the "gold" on the bottom on the connector has worn off... could this be related?

worn off ?? This may sound silly........ but have you tried to clean connector areas ? like on atty & batt .... mine gets really dirty lookin' if I don't run a q-tip around in there often ........... otherwise I have no idea I'm about 2 months in on mine so I don't have tons of experience yet . Sorry I can't help more . These little dudes can be so freaking frustrating !!!!

I clean it frequently. Its def. worn off. What was gold is now silver. It looks very different from my other battery which was virtually un-used.
