Ummm... this is a very low-tech solution to your power-down problem.
I had a similar problem - silly charge / discharge times, sudden power
loss etc.

I discovered that the CATCH on the batt. pack could appear closed, but be
just 'on the sneck' as my Yorkshire mother-in-law used to say.

the consequence - intermittent contact and silly buggers.

So give the weighty old thing a good shove

(the battery, not your M-I-L.
