Could a failing Lithium-Ion Replacement Battery (2100mAh) cause the IROBOT ROOMBA 694 to have symptom: Wont Charge?

The battery cells undergo irreversible chemical degradation over hundreds of charge/discharge cycles, leading to increased internal resistance. When the onboard controller attempts to initiate charging, the voltage drop across this resistance triggers a safety termination, preventing the unit from accepting a charge.

Could a failing Home Base Charging Station cause the IROBOT ROOMBA 694 to have symptom: Wont Charge?

Mechanical failure of the spring-loaded charging contacts or a failure of the internal AC/DC rectification circuit prevents power delivery to the robot. If the contacts lose tension, they fail to provide the necessary clamping force to overcome the passivation layer on the robot's contact plates.

Could a failing Bottom Cover with Charging Contacts cause the IROBOT ROOMBA 694 to have symptom: Wont Charge?

The brass charging plates on the robot's underside can become deeply pitted or heavily oxidized due to micro-arcing during the docking sequence. This creates a high-impedance barrier that the low-voltage charging circuit cannot penetrate, resulting in a failure to establish a charging state.
