I keep forgetting to test whether this is needed, but just in case it only charges while actually powered on, you could try this: Plug in to wall powere, turn on, go into basic, type "power cont" enter, and just leave it like that over night. The command tells it not to power itself off after 10 minutes. Then it is for certain trying to charge the battery all night. You can issue "power 100" to put it back.
