Charging is SOOO Flakey on these!

Why is the charging so flakey? Can't they figure out something simple like charging a battery? The unit has worked great, except for this one thing!

My battery shows 2/3 charge (2 bars on the gauge). I plug it into a running computer to charge it up for a trip, using the USB cable to the desktops usb port. Nothing happens. No red light, nothing. So, I plugged into yet another computer's usb port. Nothing. So i switched cables. Nothing. THEN, when i use a cable I have the connects to the round carging port and to a usb port on that same computer, shazam it charges, red light comes on.

So, I've heard they don't charge from the USB sometimes when really dead. But this has a 2/3 charge. So anyone have any idea why it won't charge from USB (and it has done so in the past)?
