So basically I've been having problems for 3 months or more. What happens is my charger needs to be twisted (the bit that connects to the magnet or w/e) for it to charge, otherwise it has the same icon on my battery as when it's fully charged but still plugged in. At that point it usually will stay stable and I'll only need to do the twisting trying to find the exact spot to charge (takes 5-15 min usually) Well anyways, last night it was plugged in as usual but it shut off. I hit the button to show the battery power and it did the flashing one button so I plugged it in for charging and left it for 10 min so I could turn it back on. So I did that and it said charging with the icon. So I was using it for maybe 10 min and it did it again. So I did it all over. After the 3rd time of it turning off I said screw it and let it charge over night. So I did that and used up most of my battery so it did it again (even though plugged in but not charging) now it's charging for the first time while on but I'm getting frustrated and am wondering if I should just stop being cheap and have the battery or charger replaced. I thought it was the charger..but this is leading me to believe it's the battery. I have no friends with mac chargers so I can't test that. Anyone have any idea on what is going on?

Oh btw forgot to add that I've had it for two years minus a month and the charging thing has been my only problem so far. Also, it may have been going on for more like 5 months.
