These phones seem to have this problem, I'm not sure a new battery will fix it. I have found a wierd fix that works for me, but I have no clue why.
1-take the battery out,
2-leave it out about 30 seconds,
3-then put it back in but leave the cover off,
4-place it back in the cradle however you can with the battery hanging out (I wrap it around),

Now it will charge much more thoroughly for some reason???

I had the same problem!

What you need to do is hold the "end" and "#" key for 5 sec, which will deregister the headset then all you would have to do is place it back in the base for it to registered again.

Reboot your phone system. I'm not kidding. Unplug base from power and phone line for 1/2 hour and unplug battery from phone.
