Have you tried a different atty? Which are you using? I see that you're into GG.. If you're using a NR/R wire build, I would check your wire joins, and go over the entire build, or try another atty if you haven't already. If you're using the Ithaka with the straight R wire kit, I would still check the build. Your issues kind of seems like what would happen if something were off in the build, and placing stress on the battery.
Regardless, with the 1 year warranty, you should have no problem getting an exchange. Please keep us posted on what happens, and how you are taken care of if it comes to that..
EDIT: If it's not the atty build, I would try running the current update to see if that sets things straight..
EDIT: Perhaps I'm misreading some of your post... "Tried swapping out battery's and checked center pin .. Everything looks great lol".... Was it just the battery, and swapping it out, and messing with the center pin solved the problem? It's close to 5:00 AM, and I kind of took it that you are still having issues even after swapping the battery.. I just may be tired though...
