Rechargeable batteries

ts:
Any reason why rechargeable AA's would all of a sudden stop working in a device that they used to work flawlessly in? Alkaline's still work. No menu on this device so no way to select battery type. It's a self powered monitor that also can run on AA's.

dyneq:
Do you know the age of them? I have had some refuse to work after 8-10 years. My charger will give me some rudimentary health signs, but I did have a 9V that died suddenly (after a long period of storage).

ts:
Only a couple years old. Panasonic Eneloop and I have many. Also tested every one of them. They all have a full charge and work fine in other devices.

dyneq:
In that case, focus on the device. Are the device's battery contacts pushed down and/or weakened? I have brought back a few devices with intermittent power by gently bending the contacts outward toward the battery such that the battery can barely move once inserted.

ts:
Everything is as new. Plus alkalines and lithiums work. Just/doesn't like rechargeables anymore.  The monitor takes 8 AA's.
