In other words, you need a new battery.
I suppose it's possible that it may have developed a lot of memory, but even if that's true, it should take some kind of charge, last through a power-up or so, then quit, which is why I tend to think the 1st statement is true. Sorry for the bad news, but this is what happened with mine. I still have a few problems, even with the new battery, i.e., I have to deep cycle (restore it) more often than I'd like, and I rarely can get an hour of run time out of it, even if I set the Energy Saver to the best recommendations.
