Hi,
In my experience, nicads emit a green fuzz before leaking their
corrosive content all over the circuit board and destroying the circuit
traces.
It would be wise to remove it as a matter of priority, and replace it
with a supercapacitor.

The fuzz is suspicious, but you just need to measure the voltage of the battery.

Really? At all? I guess that would explain it. I may as well get a new
battery ordered up, then - in the meantime, if the current one has a
bit of green fuzz around the ends of the barrel, would it be risky to
leave it plugged in in hopes of recharging a little?
