Contact cleaner can also sparingly be used to further clean the connections by installing and removing the batteries several times to burnish the connections.

I'm sure there are skeptics out there, but this has worked for all three of my machines.

YMMV...
I have no doubt that your method can fix some "battery faults" caused by poor data connections.

In the case mentioned here, it's not a battery fault. The display indicates otherwise, and the OP has swapped batteries with no change of symptoms.
